INSPECTION
1. MEASURE PAD LINING THICKNESS
Using a ruler, measure the pad lining thickness.
Standard thickness: 9.5 mm (0.374 in.)
Minimum thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
Replace the pad if the thickness is less than the minimum (the
1.0 mm slit is no longer visible), or if it shows signs of uneven
wear.
2. MEASURE DISC THICKNESS
Using a micrometer, measure the disc thickness. Standard thickness: 32.0 mm (1.260 in.)
Minimum thickness: 30.0 mm (1.181 in.)
If the disc is scored or worn, or if its thickness is less than the
minimum, repair or replace the disc.
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: 0.15 mm (0.0059 in.)
If the runout is greater than the maximum, replace the disc or
grind it on a ”On−Car” brake lathe.
HINT:
Before measuring the runout, confirm that the front hub bearing
play is within the specification.
4. IF NECESSARY, REPLACE DISC
(a) Remove the front axle hub (See page SA−7).
(b) Remove the disc from the axle hub.
(c) Install a new disc and torque the bolts. Torque: 74 N·m (750 kgf·cm, 54 ft·lbf)
(d) Install the axle hub and adjust the front bearing preload (See page SA−9 ).

4. REMOVE THESE PARTS:
(a) 2 brake pads
(b) Anti−squeal shim
(c) 4 pad support plates
(d) 2 pad wear indicator plates
NOTICE:
The pad support plates can be used again provided that
they have sufficient rebound, no deformation, cracks or
wear, and have had all rust, dirt and foreign particles
cleaned off.
5. CHECK DISC THICKNESS AND RUNOUT (See page BR−36 )
6. INSTALL PAD SUPPORT PLATES
7. INSTALL NEW PADS
NOTICE:
When replacing worn pads, the anti −squeal shim and wear
indicator plates must be replaced together with the pads.

1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT DISASSEMBLED PARTS
Inspect the disassembled parts for wear, rust or damage.
2. MEASURE BRAKE SHOE LINING THICKNESS
Using a ruler, measure the thickness of the shoe lining. Standard thickness: 4.0 mm (0.157 in.)
Minimum thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
If the lining thickness is at the minimum thickness or less, or if
there is extremely uneven wear, replace the brake shoe.
3. MEASURE BRAKE DISC INSIDE DIAMETER
Using a vernier calipers, measure the inside diameter of the
disc. Standard inside diameter: 230 mm (9.06 in.)
Maximum inside diameter: 231 mm (9.09 in.)
Replace the disc if the inside diameter is at the maximum value
or more. Replace the disc or grind it with a lathe if the disc is
scored or is worn unevenly.
4. INSPECT PARKING BRAKE LINING AND DISC FOR PROPER CONTACT
Apply chalk to the inside surface of the disc, then grind down
the brake shoe lining to fit. If the contact between the disc and
the brake shoe lining is improper, repair it using a brake shoe
grinder or replace the brake shoe assembly.
5. MEASURE CLEARANCE BETWEEN PARKING BRAKE SHOE AND LEVER
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance.
Standard clearance: Less than 0.35 mm (0.0138 in.)
If the clearance is not within the specification, replace the shim
with one of the correct size.
Shim ThicknessShim Thickness
0.3 mm (0.012 in.)0.9 mm (0.035 in.)
