REAR DISC BRAKE

BRAKE PAD : Removal and Installation


REMOVAL


WARNING:
Since dust covering the front and rear brakes has an affect on human body, the dust must be removed with a dust collector. Never splatter the dust with an air blow gun.

CAUTION:
- Never depress brake pedal. While removing the brake pads because the piston may pop out.
- To prevent damage to the parts, never spill or splash brake fluid on the disc rotor.
- To prevent damage to the parts, if the brake fluid or grease adheres to the disc rotor, quickly wipe it off.
1.Remove tires with power tool.





2.Remove lower sliding pin bolt.





3.Remove cylinder body from torque member, and suspend the cylinder body with suitable wire so that the brake hose will not stretch.
4.Remove the brake pads, shims, shim covers and pad retainers from the torque member.

CAUTION:





- To prevent damage to the parts, never deform the pad retainer (2) when removing the pad retainer from the torque member (1).


- To prevent damage to the parts, never damage the piston boot.
- To prevent damage to the parts, never drop the brake pads, shims, and the shim covers.
- Remember each position of the removed brake pads.
5.Perform inspection after removal. Refer to "BRAKE PAD : Inspection" Inspection.

INSTALLATION


WARNING:
Since dust covering the front and rear brakes has an affect on human body, the dust must be removed with a dust collector. Never splatter the dust with an air blow gun.

CAUTION:
- Never depress brake pedal. While removing the brake pads or the cylinder body because the piston may pop out.
- To prevent damage to the parts, never spill or splash brake fluid on the disc rotor.
- To prevent damage to the parts, if the brake fluid or grease adheres to the disc rotor, quickly wipe it off.





1.Install the pad retainers (1) to the torque member (2) if the pad retainers has been removed.

CAUTION:
- Securely assemble the pad retainers so that it will not be lifted up from the torque member.
- To prevent damage to the parts, never deform the pad retainers.





2.Apply MOLYKOTE� AS880N or silicone-based grease to the mating faces (A) between the brake pads and the shims, and install the shims to the brake pad.

CAUTION:
Always replace the shim together with the shim cover when replacing the brake pad.
3.Apply MOLYKOTE� 7439 or equivalent to the mating faces (B)
between the brake pads and the pad retainers.
4.Install the brake pads to the torque member.

CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the parts, never deform the pad retainers.
5.Install cylinder body to torque member.

CAUTION:
- To prevent damage to the parts, never damage the piston boot.
- When replacing brake pad with new one, check a brake fluid level in the reservoir tank because brake fluid returns to master cylinder reservoir tank when pressing piston in.
NOTE:
Use a disc brake piston tool to easily press piston.





6.Apply rubber grease to the sliding pin bolt, install the lower sliding pin bolt and tighten it to the specified torque.
7.Depress the brake pedal several times to check that no drag feel is present for the front disc brake. Refer to "BRAKE PAD : Inspection" Inspection.
8.Install tires with power tool. Refer to "Removal and Installation" Removal And Installation.
