3) Remove caliper (1) from caliper carrier (2).
4) Remove brake pads (3).
INSPECTION
Check pad lining for wear. When wear exceeds limit, replace with
new one.
Brake pad thickness (lining thickness)
Standard : 10 mm (0.40 in.)
Limit : 1 mm (0.04 in.)
INSTALLATION
1) Set brake pad springs (1) and shim (2) and install brake
pads (3).
2) Install caliper and tighten caliper pin bolts (1) to specified
torque.
Tightening torque
Caliper pin bolts (a) : 26 N·m (2.6 kg-m, 19.0 lb-ft)
3) Tighten wheel temporarily and lower lift.NOTE:
Hang removed caliper (1) with a wire hook (4) or the like
so as to prevent brake hose from bending and twisting
excessively or being pulled.
Don’t operate brake pedal with brake pads removed.
CAUTION:
Never polish pad lining with sandpaper. If lining is pol-
ished with sandpaper, hard particles of sandpaper will be
deposited in lining and may damage disc. When pad lin-
ing requires correction, replace it with a new one.
NOTE:
When pads are removed, visually inspect caliper for
brake fluid leak. Correct leaky point, if any.
NOTE:
For right side brake, install pad with wear indicator (4) to

Tightening torque
Flexible hose joint bolt (b) : 23 N·m (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 Ib-ft)
5) Install E-ring to strut securely.
6) Lower hoist.
7) Torque wheel nuts to specifications.
Tightening torque
Wheel nuts : 85 N·m (8.5 kg-m, 61.5 Ib-ft)
8) After completing installation, fill reservoir with brake fluid and
bleed air from brake system. Perform brake test and check
each installed part for oil leakage.
