FRONT DISC BRAKE PAD CHECK AND REPLACE-
MENiNWFOAF
NOTE
The brake pads have wear indicators that contact the brake discd’when the brake pad thickness becomes 2 mm
(.08 in.), and
emit a squealing sound to warn the driver.
1. Check brake pad thickness through caliper body check
port.Limit: 2.0 mm
(.08 in.)
Caution1. When the limit is exceeded, replace the pads at
both sides, and also the brake pads for the wheelson the opposite side at the same time.
2.If there is a significant difference in the thicknesses
of the pads on the left and right sides, check the
sliding condition of the piston, lock pin sleeve and
guide pin sleeve.
2.Remove lock or guide pin. Lift caliper assembly and retain
with wires.
Caution
Do not wipe off the special grease that is on the guide
-pin or allow it to contaminate the guide pin.
3. Remove the following parts from caliper support.
