BRAKE
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT BRAKE LINE PIPES AND HOSES
HINT:
Check in a well lighted area. Check the entire circumference
and length of the brake hoses using a mirror as required. Turn
the front wheels fully right or left before checking the front brake.
(a) Check all brake lines and hoses.
Check for damage.
Check for wear.
Check for deformation.
Check for cracks.
Check for corrosion.
Check for leaks.
Check for bends.
Check for twists.
(b) Check all clamps for tightness and connections for leak-
age.
(c) Check that the hoses and lines are clear of sharp edges,
moving parts and the exhaust system.
(d) Check that the lines installed in grommets pass through
the center of the grommets.
2. INSPECT FRONT BRAKE PADS AND DISCS (See page
BR-26)
HINT:
If a squealing or scraping noise comes from the brake during
driving, check the pad wear indicator to see if it is contacting the
disc. If so, the disc pad should be replaced.
3. INSPECT REAR BRAKE LININGS AND DRUMS (See
page BR-32)

REPLACEMENT
1. REMOVE FRONT WHEEL
Remove the wheel and temporarily fasten the disc with hub
nuts.
2. INSPECT PAD LINING THICKNESS
Check the pad thickness through the caliper inspection hole
and replace the pads if they are not within the specification.
Minimum thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
3. REMOVE CALIPER
(a) Remove the 2 installation bolts from the torque plate.
(b) Remove the caliper and suspend it securely.
HINT:
Do not disconnect the flexible hose.
4. REMOVE THESE PARTS:
(a) 2 brake pads
(b) 3 anti-squeal shims
(c) Pad wear indicator plate
(d) 4 pad support plates
NOTICE:
The 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-26)
6. INSTALL 4 PAD SUPPORT PLATES
7. INSTALL NEW PADS
NOTICE:
When replacing worn pads, the anti-squeal shims and
wear indicator plates must be replaced together with the
pads.
(a) Install a pad wear indicator plate on the inner pad.
(b) Apply disc brake grease to the anti-squeal shims (See
page BR-23).
(c) Install the 2 anti-squeal shims on the outer pad.

surfaces of the pads or the disc.
8. INSTALL CALIPER
(a) Draw out a small amount of brake fluid from the reservoir.
(b) Press in the piston with a hammer handle or an equiva-
lent.
HINT:
If the piston is difficult to push in, loosen the bleeder plug and
push in the piston while letting some brake fluid escape.
(c) Install the caliper.
(d) Install and torque the 2 installation bolts.
