F: INSTALLATION
1) Install disc rotor on hub.
2) Install support on back plate.
Tightening torque:
52±6 N⋅m (5.3±0.6 kg-m, 38.3±4.3 ft-lb)
CAUTION:

Always replace the pads for both the left and right
wheels at the same time. Also replace pad clips if they
are twisted or worn.

A wear indicator is provided on the inner disc brake
pad. If the pad wears down to such an extent that the
end of the wear indicator contacts the disc rotor, a
squeaking sound is produced as the wheel rotates. If
this sound is heard, replace the pad.

Replace pads if there is oil or grease on them.
3) Apply thin coat of PBC GREASE (Part No. 003607000)
to the frictional portion between pad and pad clip.
G4M0363
4) Install pads on support.
5) Install caliper body on support.
Tightening torque:
20±4 N⋅m (2.0±0.4 kg-m, 14.5±2.9 ft-lb)
6) Connect brake hose.
Tightening torque:
18±3 N⋅m (1.8±0.3 kg-m, 13.0±2.2 ft-lb)
CAUTION:

The brake hose must be connected without any
twist.

Replace brake hose gaskets with new ones.
7) Bleed air from brake system.
