Rubbing Surface
Check rotor for roughness, cracks or chips.
Runout
1. Secure rotor to wheel hub with two nuts (M12 x 1.25).

Make sure that axial end play is within the specifications
before measuring. Refer to AX section (ªREAR WHEEL
BEARINGº, ªOn-vehicle Serviceº).
3. Change relative positions of rotor and wheel hub so that
runout is minimized.
Maximum runout:
0.07 mm (0.0028 in)
Thickness
Rotor repair limit:
Standard thickness
10 mm (0.39 in)

in the direction shown in the left. Then, move the adjuster in
the direction shown by the arrow while disengaging the tooth
contact. Never tap the area E.
4. Connect parking brake cable to toggle lever.
5. Install all parts.
Be careful not to damage wheel cylinder piston boots.
6. Check all parts are installed properly.
Pay attention to direction of adjuster assembly.
7. Install brake drum.

1. Disconnect battery cable.
2. Drain brake fluid. Refer to BR-7
3. Unlock the slider then disconnect the electrical harness con-
nectors from ABS control unit.
4. Identify each brake pipe with corresponding actuator port
hole and mark them accordingly.
5. Disconnect brake pipes and move them away from actuator.
Do not force brake pipes so as to kink them or bend them
excessively.
Ensure that brake fluid does not come into contact with
any parts.
6. Loosen/remove mounting nuts between actuator and
bracket.
CAUTION:
After installation, pay attention to the following points:
lRefill brake fluid and bleed air. Refer to ªCHECK AND
ADJUSTMENTº, BR-7 and ªBLEEDING BRAKE
SYSTEMº, BR-8, respectively.
lThe installation procedure is as follows:
1. Install actuator on bracket without tightening fixings.
2. Assemble brake tubes to actuator without tightening tube
nuts. Ensure that correct tubes are connected to each port.
3. Fully tighten actuator and bracket fixings to specified torque.
4. Fully tighten flare nuts to specified torque, BR-10.
5. Secure ABS control unit harness connector and battery
cable.

Bleeding Procedure
1. Bleed air from clutch operating cylinder according to the fol-
lowing procedure.
Carefully monitor fluid level at master cylinder during bleed-
ing operation.
a. Top up reservoir with recommended brake fluid.
b. Connect a transparent vinyl tube to air bleeder valve of clutch
operating cylinder.
c. Fully depress clutch pedal several times.
d. With clutch pedal depressed, open bleeder valve to release
air.
e. Close bleeder valve.
f. Repeat steps (c) through (e) above until brake fluid flows
from air bleeder valve without air bubbles.
2. Bleed air from clutch damper according to the above proce-
dure.
3. Repeat the above bleeding procedures 1 and 2 several
times.

IAlways use new valve oil seal.
Refer to OIL SEAL REPLACEMENT.
IBefore installing valve oil seal, install valve spring seat.
IInstall valve spring (uneven pitch type) with its narrow
pitched side toward cylinder head side (paint mark).
IAfter installing valve component parts, tap valve stem tip
with plastic hammer to assure a proper fit.
7. Check hydraulic lash adjusters.
a. Push rocker arm at hydraulic lash adjuster location, and see if
rocker arm moves. If it moves at least 1 mm (0.04 in), it indi-
cates that there is air in the high pressure chamber.
Noise will be emitted from hydraulic lash adjuster if engine is
started without bleeding air.
b. Remove hydraulic lash adjuster and dip in a container filled
with engine oil. While pushing plunger as shown in figure,
lightly push check ball using a thin rod. Air is completely bled
when plunger no longer moves.
Air cannot be bled from this type of lash adjuster by running
the engine.
8. Install rocker arms, shims, rocker arm guides and hydraulic
lash adjusters.
CAUTION:
Install all parts in their original positions.
9. Select a suitable shim when replacing any of the following
parts with a new one: Cylinder head, shim, rocker arm guide
and valve seat. Proceed as follows to select the shim of cor-
rect thickness.
a. Install valve component parts to cylinder head (Except shim).
IAlways replace rocker arm guide with a new one.
