SEAT BELT
INSPECTION
CAUTION:
Replace the seat belt assembly (outer belt, inner belt, bolts,
nuts or sill −bar) if it has been used in a severe impact. The
entire assembly should be replaced even if damage is not
obvious.
1. All seat belts: RUNNING TEST (IN SAFE AREA)
(a) Fasten the front seat belts.
(b) Drive the car at 10 mph (16 km/h) and make a very hard stop.
Check that the belt locks and cannot be extended at this
time.
HINT:
Conduct this test in a safe area. If the belt does not lock, remove
the belt mechanism assembly and conduct the following static
check. Also, whenever installing a new belt assembly, verify the
proper operation before installation.
2. Driver ’s seat belt (ELR): STATIC TEST
(a) Make sure that the belt locks when pulled out quickly.
(b) Remove the locking retractor assembly.
(c) Tilt the retractor slowly.
(d) Make sure that the belt can be pulled out at a tilt of 15 de-
grees or less, and cannot be pulled out at over 45 degrees
of tilt.
If a problem is found, replace the assembly.
3. Except driver’s seat belt (ALR/ELR):
STATIC TEST
(a) Make sure that the belt locks when pulled out quickly.
(b) Remove the locking retractor assembly.
(c) Pull out the whole belt and measure the length of the whole belt.
Then retract the belt slightly and pull it out again.
(d) Make sure that the belt cannot be extended further.
If a problem is found, replace the assembly.
(e) Retract the whole belt, then pull it out to the full length mi-
nus 200 mm (7.87 in.).
(f) Tilt the retractor slowly.
(g) Make sure that the belt can be pulled out at a tilt of 15 de-
grees or less, and cannot be pulled out at over 45 degrees
of tilt.
If a problem is found, replace the assembly.

BRAKE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER
BR−27
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
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 ).
