DIAGNOSIS TABLE
Condition Possible Cause Correction
Not enough braking
forceBrake oil leakage from brake lines Locate leaking point and repair.
Brake disc or pads stained with oil Clean or replace.

Malfunctioning caliper assembly Repair or replace.
Air in system Bleed system.
Maladjusted sensor spring length of LSPV, if
equippedCheck or adjust.

Defective LSPV, if equipped Replace.
Malfunctioning ABS (Antilock brake system), if
equippedCheck system and replace as nec-
essary.
Brake pull
(Brakes not working in
unison)Pad linings and/or shoe linings are wet with
water or stained with oil in some brakesReplace.
Drum-to-shoe clearance out of adjustment in
some brakes
(Malfunctioning auto adjusting mechanism)Check for inoperative auto adjust-
ing mechanism.

brakesReplace.
Wheel tires are inflated unequally Inflate equally.
Malfunction in wheel cylinders Repair or replace.
Disturbed front end alignment Adjust as prescribed.
Unmatched tires on same axle Tires with approximately the same
amount of tread should be used on
the same axle.
Restricted brake pipes or hoses Check for soft hoses and damaged
lines. Replace with new hoses and
new double-walled steel brake tub-
ing.
Malfunctioning caliper assembly Check for stuck or sluggish pistons
and proper lubrication of caliper
slide bush.
Caliper should slide.
Loose suspension parts Check all suspension mountings.
Loose calipers Check and torque bolts to specifica-
tions.
Noise (high pitched
squeak without brake
applied)Front lining worn out Replace linings.
Contact wear indicator to brake disc Replace pads.
Rear brake locked pre-
maturelyMaladjusted sensor spring length of LSPV, if
equippedCheck or adjust.
Malfunction LSPV assembly, if equipped Replace assembly.

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
vehicle center side.

4) Tighten wheel nuts to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Wheel nuts (a) : 85 N·m (8.5 kg-m, 61.5 lb-ft)
5) After completion of installation, check for brake effective-
ness.
CALIPER ASSEMBLY
REMOVAL
1) Hoist vehicle and remove wheel.
2) Remove E-ring (1).
3) Loosen flexible hose joint bolt (1) a little at caliper.
4) Remove caliper pin bolts (1).
5) Remove caliper from caliper carrier.
6) Disconnect flexible hose from caliper using care not to twist
it. As this will allow brake fluid to flow out of flexible hose,
have a container ready beforehand.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to twist flexible hose while loosening the
bolt.

4) Torque flexible hose joint bolt to specification.
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.
BRAKE DISC
REMOVAL
1) Hoist vehicle and remove wheel.
2) Remove caliper assembly by removing caliper carrier bolts
(2 pcs)
3) Pull brake disc off by using 8 mm bolts (1) (2 pcs).WARNING:
Make sure that flexible hose is not twisted when tighten-
ing joint bolt. If it is twisted, reconnect it using care not to
twist it.
CAUTION:
During removal, be careful not to damage brake flexible
hose and not to depress brake pedal.
NOTE:
Hang removed caliper with a wire hook or the like so as
to prevent brake hose from bending and twisting exces-
sively or being pulled.
Don’t operate brake pedal with brake pads removed.

INSTALLATION
1) Put flat end rod or the like between rod (1) and ratchet (2)
and pull ratchet as shown to maximize clearance between
shoe and drum.
2) Install brake drum (1) after making sure that inside of brake
drum and brake shoes are free from dirt and oil.
3) Install new spindle nut (2). (For 2WD vehicle only)
4) Tighten spindle nut (2) to specified torque. (For 2WD vehicle
only)
Tightening torque
Spindle nut (a) : 175 N·m (17.5 kg-m, 127.0 lb-ft)
5) Calk spindle nut (1) as shown in figure. (For 2WD vehicle
only)
6) Install spindle cap. (For 2WD vehicle only)
7) Tighten wheel nuts to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Wheel nuts (a) : 85 N·m (8.5 kg-m, 61.5 lb-ft)
8) Upon completion of all jobs, depress brake pedal with about
30 kg (66 lbs) load 3 to 5 times so as to obtain proper drum-
to-shoe clearance.
9) Adjust parking brake cable. Refer to “PARKING BRAKE
INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT”.
10) Check to make sure that brake drum is free of dragging and
brake works properly. Then remove vehicle from lift and per-
form brake test.
NOTE:
Removed spindle nut should be replaced with new one.
NOTE:
When installing spindle cap, hammer lightly several
locations on the collar of cap until collar comes closely
into contact with brake drum.
If fitting part of cap is deformed or damaged or if it is
fitted loosely, replace with new one.
