Front Brake Pads Inspection and Replacement
. Avoid breathing dust particles.
. Never use an air hose or brush to clean brake
assemblies. Use an OSHA-approved vacuum
cleaner.
lnspection
1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with
safety stands in the proper location {see page 1'8).
Remove the front wheels.
2. Check the thickness of the inner pad iA) and outer
pad {B). Do not include the thickness of the brake
pad backing plate.
Brake pad thickness:
Standard: 9.5 10.5 mm (0.37 0.41 in.l
Service limit: 1.6 mm (0.06 in.)
Inner pad:
Outer pad:
lf the brake Dad thickness is less than the service
limit, replace allthe pads as a set.
Replacement
1. Remove the bolt (A), and pivot the caliper (B) upout
of the way. Check the hose and pin boots for
damage and deterioration.

4. Clean the caliper thoroughly; remove any rust, andcheck for grooves and cracks.
5. Checkthe brake disc for damage and cracks.
6. Apply Dow Corning Molykote M77 grease to theretainers on their mating surfaces against thecaliper bracket.
7. Installthe pad retainers. Wipe excess grease offtheretainers. Contaminated brake discs and pads
reduce stopping ability. Keep grease off the discsand pads.
8. Apply Molykote l\477 grease to both sides of thepad shim {A), the back ofthe pads (B), and the other
areas indicated by the arrows.
Wipe excess grease off the shim. Contaminated
brake discs and pads reduce stopping ability. Keepgrease off the discs and pads.
Installthe brake pads and pad shim correctly.Install the pads with the wear indicators (C) on theinside.
lf you are reusing the pads, always reinstall thebrake pads in their original positions to prevent amomentary loss of braking efficiency.

10. Push in the piston (A) so the caliper will fitoverthepads. Check the brake fluid level. The brake fluid
may overflow if the reservoir is too full. lvlake surethe piston boot is in position to prevent damaging itwhen pivoting the caliper down

11. Pivot the caliper down into position. Being carefulnot to damage the pin boots, install the bolt (B), and
tighten it to the specified torque.
12. Press the brake pedal several timestomakesure
the brake works, then test drive.
NOTE: Engagement of the brake may require agreater pedal stroke immediately after the brakepads have been replaced as a set. Several
applications of lhe brake pedal will restore thenormal pedal stroke.
13. After installation, check for leaks at hose and linejoants or connections, and retighten if necessary.
