1. MEASURE PAD LINING THICKNESS
Using a ruler, measure the pad lining thickness.
Standard thickness:
11.0 mm (0.433 in.)
Minimum thickness:
1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
Replace the pad if the pad's thickness is at the minimum
thickness or less, or if the pad has severe, uneven wear.
2. MEASURE DISC THICKNESS
Using a micrometer, measure the disc thickness.
Standard thickness:
32 mm (1.260 in.)
Minimum thickness:
30 mm (1.181 in.)
Replace the disc if the thickness of the disc is at the minimum
thickness or less. Replace the disc or grind it on a lathe if it
is scored or is worn unevenly.
3. MEASURE DISC RUNOUT
Using a dial indicator, measure the disc runout at a position
10 mm (0.39 in.) from the outside edge.
Maximum disc runout:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If the disc's runout is at the maximum value or greater, check
the bearing play in the axial direction and check the axle hub
runout (See page SA±16). If the bearing play and axle hub
runout are not abnormal, adjust the disc runout.
4. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST DISC RUNOUT
(a) Remove the 2 bolts and torque plate.
(b) Remove the hub nuts and the disc. Reinstall the disc 1/5 of
a turn round from its original position on the hub. Install and
torque the hub nuts.
Torque: 103 NVm (1,050 kgfVcm, 76 ftVlbf)
Remeasure the disc runout. Make a note of the runout and
disc's position on the hub.
(c) Repeat (b) until the disc has been installed on the 3 remain-
ing hub positions.
(d) If the minimum runout recorded in (b) and (c) is less than 0.05
mm (0.0020 in.), install the disc in that position.
(e) If the minimum runout recorded in (b) and (c) is greater than
0.05 mm (0.0020 in.), replace the disc and repeat step 3.
(f) Install the torque plate and torque the 2 bolts.
Torque: 118 NVm (1,200 kgfVcm, 87 ftVlbf)

NOTICE: When replacing worn pads, the anti±squeal
shims must be replaced together with the pads.
(a) Draw out a small amount of brake fluid from the reservoir.
(b) Press in the pistons with a hammer handle or equivalent.
HINT:
wAlways change the pads on one wheel at a time as there
is a possibility of the opposite piston flying out.
wIf the piston is difficult to push in, loosen the bleeder plug
and push in the piston while letting some brake fluid
escape.
(c) Install the anti±squeal shim on each pad.
HINT:
wPlace the pad wear indicator facing downward.
wApply disc brake grease to inner side of the antisqueal.
wMake sure that the arrow on the shims points upward.
(d) Install a pad spacer on the lower side of the each pad.
(e) Install the 2 pads.
NOTICE: Do not allow oil or grease to get on the rubbing
face.

1. REMOVE FRONT WHEEL
2. DISCONNECT BRAKE HOSE
(a) Remove the union bolt and 2 gaskets from the caliper, then
disconnect the brake hose from the caliper.
