5. Using vernier calipers. measure the thickness of
each brake pad lining. The measurement does not
include the pad backing plate thickness.
Brake Pad Thicknsss:
Standard; 8.5 - 9.5 mm 10.33 - 0.37 in)
Servica Limh: 1.6 mm {0.06 in}
lf the brake pad thickness is less than the service
limit, replace the front pads as a set,

lnstallthe brake hose bracket on the knuckle.
NOTE: Inspect the brake hose for interference and
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 ot the brake pedal will restore the normal
pedal stroke.
After installation, check for leaks at hose and line
joints and connections, and retighten if necessary.16.
