5B-2 FRONT BRAKE
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
DISC BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY
This caliper is mounted to the brake caliper carrier with two caliper pin bolts. Hydraulic force, created by applying
force to the brake pedal, is converted by the caliper to friction. The hydraulic force acts equally against the piston
and the bottom of the caliper bore to move the piston outward and to move (slide) the caliper inward, resulting in
a clamping action on the disc. This clamping action forces the pads (linings against the disc, creating friction to
stop the vehicle.
NOTE:

Lubricate parts as specified. Do not use lubricated shop air on brake parts as damage to rubber compo-
nents may result. If any component is removed or line disconnected, bleed the brake system.
Replace pads in axle sets only. The torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners.

For identification of the brake caliper type, see maker name or mark on brake caliper as shown.

ªAº: Apply grease
Brake Disc
Before this inspection, brake pads must be removed.
Check disc surface for scratches in wearing parts. Scratches on
disc surface noticed at the time of specified inspection or replace-
ment are normal and disc is not defective unless they are serious.
But when there are deep scratches or scratches all over disc sur-
face, replace it. When only one side is scratched, polish and correct
that side.
Disc thickness ªaº
Standard: 22 mm (0.866 in.) For SUMITOMO ELECTRIC. . . . .
brake caliper
17 mm (0.670 in.) For TOKICO brake caliper. . . . .
Service limit: 20 mm (0.787 in.) For SUMITOMO ELECTRIC. .
brake caliper
15 mm (0.590 in.) For TOKICO brake caliper. .
Use wheel nuts and suitable plain washers to hold the disc securely
against the hub, then mount a dial indicator as shown and measure
the runout at 25 mm (0.98 in.) from the outer edge of the disc.
Limit on disc deflection: 0.15 mm (0.006 in.)
NOTE:
Check front wheel bearing for looseness before measure-
ment.
Cylinder Slide Guide Pin / Pin Bolt
Check guide pin for smooth movement as shown.
If it is found faulty, correct or replace. Apply rubber grease to guide
pin outer surface. Rubber grease should be the on whose viscosity
is less affected by such low temperature a ±40
C (±40
F).
Dust Boot
Check boot for breakage, crack and damage. If defective, replace.

REMOVAL
1) Hoist vehicle and remove wheel.
2) Remove brake flexible hose mounting bolt from caliper. As this
will allow fluid to flow out of hose, have a container ready before-
hand.
3) Remove caliper pin bolts.
4) Remove caliper.
DISASSEMBLY
Before disassembly, clean all around caliper with brake fluid.
1) Remove anti noise shim (if equipped) and blow compressed air
into cylinder through bolt hole where flexible hose was fitted.
With this air pressure, piston can be pushed out of cylinder.
WARNING:
Do not apply too highly compressed air which will cause
piston to jump out of cylinder. It should be taken out grad-
ually with moderately compressed air. Do not place your
fingers in front of piston when using compressed air.

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.

Piston and Boot
1) Before inserting piston into cylinder, install boot onto piston as
shown.
2) Fit boot as it is in above figure into boot groove in cylinder with
fingers.
Check to make sure that boot is fitted into boot groove in cylinder
completely in its circumference.
3) Insert piston into cylinder by hand and fit boot in boot groove in
piston.
4) To confirm that boot is fitted in its groove in cylinder properly, pull
piston out of cylinder a little but do not take it all out.
5) Insert piston into cylinder by hand.
6) Install anti noise shim, if equipped.
