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
Visually check for damage or signs of fluid leakage.
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
Check brake operation by applying the brakes.
Visually check for damage or signs of fluid leakage.
lf the pedal does not operate properly, the brakes

4. Remove the pad shim. pad retainers, and pads.
NOTE: When the caliper is equipped with an outer
pad shim, replace the shim together with the pads
5. Using vernier calipers, measure the thickness of
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.

7. Clean the caliper thoroughly; remove any rust, and
check for grooves and cracks.
8. Check the brake disc for damage and cracks.
9. lnstall the pad retainers,
10. Apply grease to the points indicated by the arrows
in the following illustration:
NOTE: Use the pad grease included in the pad set
or Molykote Nl77 grease, and apply a thin coat of
grease evenly to the designated points.
o Piston end and inner Dad contact surface
. Pad and calioer bracket contact surface
. Outer pad and caliper body contact surface
. Outer pad shim and outer pad contact surface
. Outer pad shim and caliper body contact surface

1 1. Install the brake pads and pad shim correctly.
. Whon reusing the pads, always reinstall the
brake pads in their original positions to prevont
loss of braking efticiency.
. Contaminated brake discs or pads teduce stop-
ping ability. Keep grease oft the discs and pads'
NOTE: lnstall the Dad with the wear indicator on
the inside.l.t
'12. Push in the piston so that the caliper will fitoverthe
pads, Make sure that the piston boot is in position
to prevent damaging it when pivoting the caliper
down.
Pivot the caliper down into position, then install the
caliper bolt and tighten it.
CAUTION: Be caretul not damage the pin boot
when pivoting the caliper dowr.
lnstall the brake hose bracket on the knuckle
NOTE: Inspect the brake hose for interference or
twisting.
Depress the brake pedal several times to make sure
the brakes work. then test-drive.
NOTE: Engagement of the brake may require a
greater pedal stroke immediately after the brake
pads have been replaced as a set. Several applica-
tions of the brake pedal will restore the normal
Dedal stroke.
After installation. check for leaks at hose and line
joints or connections, and retighten if necessary.
