8. As shown in the figure, align the piston’s concave to the pad’s
convex, then install the cylinder body to the torque member.
9. Install brake cable, brake cable mounting bolt, lock spring and
master cylinder reservoir cap.
NBR167
RemovalNLBR0039WARNING:
Clean brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the
hazard of airborne particles or other materials.
1. Remove brake cable mounting bolt and lock spring.
2. Release parking brake control lever, then disconnect cable
from the caliper.
3. Remove torque member fixing bolts and connecting bolt.
It is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for dis-
assembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case,
suspend caliper assembly with wire so as not to stretch brake
hose.

DisassemblyNLBR00401. Remove piston by turning it counterclockwise with long nose
pliers or suitable tool.

2. Pry off snap ring A from piston with suitable pliers and remove
adjusting nut.

Pad ReplacementNLBR0151WARNING:
Clean brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the
hazard of airborne particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
+When cylinder body is open, do not depress brake pedal
because piston will pop out.
+Be careful not to damage piston boot or get oil on rotor.
Always replace shims in replacing pads.
+If shims are rusted or show peeling of rubber coat, replace
them with new shims.
+It is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for
replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, suspend
cylinder body with wire so as not to stretch brake hose.
+Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or
replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage.
Refer to“Brake Burnishing Procedure”,“ON-VEHICLE
SERVICE”, BR-7.

1. Remove master cylinder reservoir cap.
2. Remove brake cable lock spring.
3. Release parking brake control lever, then disconnect cable

5. Open cylinder body downward. Then remove pads inner and
outer shims.
Standard pad thickness:
9.3 mm (0.366 in)
Pad wear limit:
2.0 mm (0.079 in)

6. When installing new pads, push piston into cylinder body by
gently turning piston clockwise, as shown.
Carefully monitor brake fluid level because brake fluid will
return to reservoir when pushing back piston.
NBR374
7. Adjust the piston to the right angle as shown in the figure.

8. As shown in the figure, align the piston’s concave to the pad’s
convex, then install the cylinder body to the torque member.
9. Install brake cable, brake cable mounting bolt, lock spring and

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.
DisassemblyNLBR0153Remove pin bolts and pins.
NOTE:
