REMOVAL
1. DISCONNECT FLEXIBLE HOSE
Remove the union bolt and 2 gaskets from the caliper, then dis-
connect the flexible hose from the caliper. Use a container to
catch brake fluid as it drains out.
Torque: 30 N´m (310 kgf´cm, 22 ft´lbf)
HINT:
At the time of installation, install the flexible hose lock securely
in the lock hole in the caliper.
2. REMOVE CALIPER
(a) Hold the sliding pin and loosen the 2 installation bolts.
Torque: 34 N´m (350 kgf´cm, 25 ft´lbf)
(b) Remove the 2 installation bolts.
(c) Remove the caliper from the torque plate.
3. REMOVE 2 ANTI±SQUEAL SPRINGS

INSPECTION
1. MEASURE PAD LINING THICKNESS
Using a ruler, measure the pad lining thickness.
Standard thickness: 11.0 mm (0.433 in.)
Minimum thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
Replace the pad if the thickness is less than the minimum (the
1.0 mm slit is no longer visible), or if it shows signs of uneven
wear.
2. MEASURE DISC THICKNESS
Using a micrometer, measure the disc thickness.
Standard thickness: 32.0 mm (1.260 in.)
Minimum thickness: 30.0 mm (1.181 in.)
Replace the disc if the thickness of the disc is at the minimum
thickness or less. Replace the disc or grind it on a lathe if it is
scored or is worn unevenly.
3. MEASURE DISC RUNOUT
(a) Temporarily fasten the disc with the 3 hub nuts.
(b) Using a dial indicator, measure the disc runout at a posi-
tion 10 mm (0.39 in.) away from the out side edge.
Maximum disc runout: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If the disc's runout is maximum value or greater, check the bear-
ing play in the axial direction and check the axle hub runout
(See page SA±10). If the bearing play and axle hub runout are
not abnormal, adjust the disc runout or grind it on a ºOn±Carº
brake lathe.
4. IF NECESSARY, ADJUST DISC RUNOUT
(a) Remove the 2 bolts and torque plate.
(b) Remove the 3 hub nuts and disc. Turn the disc 1/5 turn
and reinstall the disc. Install and torque the 3 hub nuts.
Torque: 103 N´m (1,050 kgf´cm, 76 ft´lbf)
(c) Remeasure the disc runout. Make a note of the runout
and the disc's position on the hub.
(d) Repeat (b) until the disc has been installed on the 3 re-
maining hub positions.
(e) If the minimum runout recorded in (b) and (c) is less than
0.05 mm (0.0020 in.), install the disc in that position.
(f) If the minimum runout recorded in (b) and (c) is greater
than 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.), replace the disc and repeat
step 3.
(g) Install the torque plate and torque the 2 bolts.
Torque: 118 N´m (1,200 kgf´cm, 87 ft´lbf)

(b) Install the 2 anti±squeal shims on each pad.
HINT:
Make sure the arrows on the inner anti±squeal shims facing to
the direction of disc rotation as shown in the illustration.
(c) Draw out a small amount of brake fluid from the reservoir.
(d) Press in the pistons with a monkey wrench handle or
equivalent.
HINT:

Tape the monkey wrench handle before use.

If the piston is difficult to push in, loosen the bleeder plug
and push in the piston while letting some brake fluid es-
cape.
(e) Install the 2 pads.

SPRING
(a) Install the pad guide pin and clip.
(b) Install the anti±squeal spring.
HINT:

Ensure that the claw of the anti±squeal spring is raised up
on the caliper securely.

Ensure that there is no gap between the pad guide pin
and anti±squeal spring.

Ensure that ºAº and ºBº portions of anti±squeal spring are
attached to the pad.
