RemovalNJBR0143WARNING:
Clean brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the
hazard of airborne particles or other materials.
1. Remove brake cable lock spring.
2. Release parking brake control lever, then disconnect cable
from the caliper.
3. Remove torque member fixing bolts and connecting bolt.
4. Remove brake hose connecting bolt.
5. Plug off the brake hose and cylinder body to prevent air enter-
ing the system.
CAUTION:
Care should be taken as not to let:
+Air enter the cylinder body and brake hose.
+Brake fluid spill from the cylinder body and brake hose.
DisassemblyNJBR0144Remove pin bolts and pins.
NOTE:
Cylinder body can not be disassembled.
InspectionNJBR0145CALIPERNJBR0145S01CAUTION:
Do not drain any brake fluid from cylinder body. Cylinder body
can not be disassembled.
Cylinder BodyNJBR0145S0101Check cylinder body for score, rust, wear, damage or presence of
foreign materials. If any of the above conditions are observed,
replace cylinder body.
Torque MemberNJBR0145S0102Check for wear, cracks or other damage. Replace if necessary.

RunoutNJBR0145S02021. Secure rotor to wheel hub with two nuts (M12 x 1.25).
2. Check runout using a dial indicator.
Make sure that axial end play is within the specifications
before measuring. Refer to AX section (ªREAR WHEEL
BEARINGº, ªOn-vehicle Serviceº).
3. Change relative positions of rotor and wheel hub so that runout
is minimized.

InstallationNJBR0146CAUTION:
+Refill with new brake fluid ªDOT 4º.
+Never reuse drained brake fluid.
+Do not drain (factory) filled brake fluid from (new) caliper
assemblies.
1. Install caliper assembly.
+As shown in the figure, align the piston's concave to the pad's
convex, then install the cylinder body to the torque member.
2. Remove the plug from the cylinder body and brake hose.
CAUTION:
Care should be taken as not to let:
+Air enter the cylinder body and brake hose.
+Brake fluid spill from the cylinder body and brake hose.
3. Install brake hose to caliper securely.
4. Install all parts and secure all bolts.
5. Bleed air. Refer to ªBleeding Brake Systemº, BR-9.

How to Perform Trouble Diagnoses for Quick
and Accurate Repair
NJBR0094INTRODUCTIONNJBR0094S01The ABS system has an electronic control unit to control major
functions. The control unit accepts input signals from sensors and
instantly drives actuator. It is essential that both kinds of signals are
proper and stable. It is also important to check for conventional
problems: such as air leaks in the booster or lines, lack of brake
fluid, or other problems with the brake system.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a problem that occurs intermit-
tently rather than continuously. Most intermittent problems are
caused by poor electric connections or faulty wiring. In this case,
careful checking of suspicious circuits may help prevent the
replacement of good parts.
A visual check only may not find the cause of the problems, so a
road test should be performed.
Before undertaking actual checks, take just a few minutes to talk
with a customer who approaches with a ABS complaint. The cus-
tomer is a very good source of information on such problems;
especially intermittent ones. Through the talks with the customer,
find out what symptoms are present and under what conditions
they occur.
Start your diagnosis by looking for ªconventionalº problems first.
This is one of the best ways to troubleshoot brake problems on an
ABS controlled vehicle. Also check related Service Bulletins for
information.
