INSPECTION & ADJUSTMENT
Confirm the following before inspection and adjustment.

Fuel tank is filled with fuel fully.

Vehicle is equipped with spare tire, tools, jack and jack handle.

Vehicle is free from any other load.
With vehicle in above conditions;
1) Place it on level floor.
2) Push up (for 5 door model) or push down (for 3 door model)
LSPV lever with finger till it stops and measure length ªLº of coil
spring as it is pulled.
3) Spring length ªLº should be the value specified below.
Spring length (between spring end and spring bolt)
ªLº: 103 mm (4.06 in.) (5 door model). . . . .
ªLº: 157 mm (6.18 in.) (3 door model). . . . .
4) If it isn't, adjust it to specification by changing stay positions as
shown in figure. After adjustment, tighten bolt to specified
torque.
For details, refer to left figure.

2) Remove piston seal using a thin blade like a thickness gauge,
etc.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage inside (bore side) of cylinder.
INSPECTION
Cylinder Boot
Check boots for breakage, crack and damage. If defective, replace.
Piston Seal
Excessive or uneven wear of pad lining may indicate unsmooth re-
turn of the piston. In such a case, replace rubber seal.
ASSEMBLY
Reassemble front brake in reverse order of disassembly, noting the
following points.
CAUTION:

Wash each part cleanly before installation in the same
fluid as the one used in master cylinder reservoir.

Never use other fluid or thinner.

Before installing piston and piston seal to cylinder, apply
fluid to them.

After reassembling brake lines, bleed air from them.
Piston Seal
Piston seal is used to seal piston and cylinder and to adjust clear-
ance between pad and disc. Replace with a new one at every over-
haul. Fit piston seal into groove in cylinder taking care not to twist
it.
