Brake System Rubber Parts and Brake Booster
Brake Boostet
Check brake operation by applying the brakes.
lf the brakes do not work properly, check the brake
booster, Replace the brake booster as an assembly
if it does not work properly or if there are signs of
leakage.
Piston Cup and Pressure Cup Inspeqtion
. Check brake operation by applying the brakes.
Visually check for damage or signs of fluid leak-
age.
Replace the master cylinder as an assembly if
the pedal does not work properly or if there is
damage or signs of fluid leakage.
. Check for a difference in brake pedal stroke
between quick and slow brake applications.
Replace the master cylinder if there is a differ-
ence in oedal stroke.
Brake Hoses

Replace the brake hose with a new one if it is dam-
aged or leaking.
Caliper Piston Seal and Piston Boots
Check brake ope.ation by applying the brakes.
Visually check for damage or signs of fluid leakage.
lf the pedal does not operate properly, the brakes
drag. or there is damage or signs of fluid leakage,
disassemble and inspect the brake caliper. Replace
the boots and seals with new ones whenever the
brake caliDer is disassembled.
Wheol Cylindor Piston Cup and Dust Cover

each brake pad lining. The measurement does not
include the pad backing plate thickness.
Brake Pad Thickno$:
Standard: 9.5 - 10.5 mm 10.37 - 0.41 in)
SerYico Limit 1.6 mm {0.06 in}
lf the brake pad thickness is less than the service
limit, replace the front Dads as a set.
