REPLACEMENT OF BRAKE PADS




NOTE: If a squealing noise occurs from the brakes while driving, check the pad wear indicator. If there are traces of the indicator contacting the rotor disc, the brake pad should be replaced.

- Temporarily fasten the rotor disc with the hub nuts.




- Check the pad thickness through the cylinder inspection hole and replace pads if not within specification.

Minimum thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)



- Remove the installation bolt from the torque plate.



- Remove the brake cylinder and suspend it so the hose is not stretched.

- Remove following parts:



- Two brake pads
- Three anti-squeal shims
- Four pad support plates

- Check rotor disc thickness

- Check rotor disc runout





- Install the four pad support plates.





- Install the three anti-squeal shims to the pads.

NOTE: Apply disc brake grease to the both side of the inner anti-squeal shim.




- Install the two pads so the wear indicator plate is at the bottom side.

CAUTION: Do not allow oil or grease to get on the rubbing face.
- Install caliper

- Draw out a small amount of brake fluid from the reservoir.




- Press in piston with a hammer handle or an equivalent.

NOTE: Always change the pads on one wheel at a time as there is a possibility of the opposite piston flying out.

- Insert the brake cylinder carefully so the boot is not wedged.
