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 ).

REPLACEMENT
1. REMOVE REAR WHEEL
Remove the wheel and temporarily fasten the disc with the hub
nuts.
2. INSPECT PAD LINING THICKNESS
Check the pad thickness through the caliper inspection hole
and replace pads if the thickness is not within the specification.
Minimum thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
3. REMOVE BRAKE CALIPER
(a) Remove the sliding main pin and sliding sub pin.
(b) Remove the caliper and suspend it so the hose is not stretched.
HINT:
Do not disconnect the flexible hose.
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.

BRAKE REAR BRAKE PAD
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
(a) Install pad wear indicator plate to each pads.
(b) Install the anti−squeal shim to the outer pad.
(c) Install the 2 pads so the wear indicator plate is facing up-
ward.
NOTICE:
Do not allow oil or grease to get on the rubbing face.
8. INSTALL CALIPER
(a) Draw out a small amount of brake fluid from the reservoir.
(b) Press in piston with a hammer handle or an equivalent.
HINT:
Always change the pads on one wheel at a time as there is a
possibility of the opposite piston flying out.
(c) Install the caliper carefully so the boot is not wedged.
(d) Install and torque the sliding main pin and sub pin. Torque: 88 N·m (900 kgf·cm, 65 ft·lbf)
9. INSTALL REAR WHEEL
10. CHECK THAT FLUID LEVEL IS AT MAX LINE
