1826 Author: Date:
1997 SUPRA (RM502U)
REPLACEMENT
1. REMOVE FRONT WHEEL
Remove the wheel and temporarily fasten the disc with the hub
nuts.
2. INSPECT PAD LINING THICKNESS
Check the pad thickness and replace pads if they are not within
specification.
Minimum thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
3. REMOVE THESE PARTS
(a) Clip and 2 pins
(b) Anti-rattle spring
(c) 2 pads
(d) 2 pad spacers
(e) 2 anti-squeal shims
NOTICE:
The anti-rattle spring, clip and pad spacers can be used
again provided that they have sufficient rebound, no de-
formation, cracks or wear, and have had all rust, dirt and
foreign particles cleaned off.
4. CHECK DISC THICKNESS AND RUNOUT
(See page BR-39)
5. INSTALL NEW PADS
NOTICE:
When replacing worn pads, the anti-squeal shims must be
replaced together with the pads.
(a) Draw out a small amount of brake fluid from the reservoir.
(b) Press in the pistons with a hammer handle or equivalent.
HINT:
Always change the pads on one wheel at a time as there
is a possibility of the opposite piston flying out.
If the piston is difficult to push in, loosen the bleeder plug
and push in the piston while letting some brake fluid es-
cape.

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 for:
Damage
Wear
Deformation
Cracks
Corrosion
Leaks
Bends
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 AND REAR BRAKE PADS AND
DISCS
2JZ-GE:
Front: See page BR-23
Rear: See page BR-43
2JZ-GTE:
Front: See page BR-26
Rear: See page BR-46
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
disk rotor. If so, the disk pad should be replaced.
3. INSPECT PARKING BRAKE LININGS AND DRUMS
(See page BR-62)
