1996 SUBARU LEGACY wheel torque

G4M0363
F: INSTALLATION
1) Install disc rotor on hub.
2) Install support on housing.
Tightening torque:
78±10 N⋅m (8±1 kg-m, 58±7 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.

When replacing the pad, replace pads of the right
and left wheels at the same time.
3) Apply thin coat of PBC GREASE (Part No. 003607000)
to the frictional portion between pad and pad clip.
4) Install pads, rubber coated shim and stainless shim on
support.
5) Install caliper body on support.
Tightening torque:
39±5 N⋅m (4±0.5 kg-m, 28.9±3.6 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:
Replace brake hose gaskets with new ones.
7) Bleed air from brake system.

4) Check pad thickness (including back metal).
Pad thickness: A
Standard value 15.0 mm (0.591 in)
Wear limit 6.5 mm (0.256 in)
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 pad if there is oil or grease on it.
G4M0363
5) Apply thin coat of PBC GREASE (Part No. 03607000)
to the frictional portion between pad and pad clip.
6) Install pad on support.
7) Install caliper body on support.
Tightening torque:
20±4 N⋅m (2.0±0.4 kg-m, 14.5±2.9 ft-lb)
NOTE:
If it is difficult to push piston during pad replacement,
loosen air bleeder to facilitate work.
