Front Brake Disc lnspection
Runout
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. Remove the brake pads (see page 19-11).
3. Inspect the disc surface for damage and cracks.
Clean the disc thoroughly, and remove all rust
4. lnstall suita ble flat washers (A) andwheel nuts,and
tighten the nuts to the specified torque to hold the
brake disc securely against the hub.
Set up the dial gauge against the brake disc as
shown, and measure the runout at 10 mm (0 4 in.)
from the outer edge of the disc.
Brake Disc Runout:
Service Limit: 0.10 mm (0.00tt in.l
lf the disc is beyond the service limit, refinish the
brake disc.
Max. Retinish Limit: 19.0 mm (0.75 in.)
NOTE:. lf the brakedisc is beyondtheservice limitfor
refinishing, replace it (see page 18-1 1).
. A new disc should be refinished if its runout is
greater than 0.10 mm (0.004 in.).
Thickness and Parallelism
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. Remove the brake pads (see page 19-11).
3. Using a micrometer, measure disc thickness at
eight points, approximately 45" apart and 10 mm
{0.4 in.) in from the outer edge of the disc.
Brake Oisc Thickness:
Standard: 20.9 21.8 mm {0.82-0.86 in.}
Max. Refinishing Limit: 19.0 mm 10.75 in.)
Brake Disc Parallelism: 0.015 mm 10.0(X)6 in.)
max.
NOTE: This is the maximum allowable difference
between the thickness measurements
10 mm lo.it in.l
lf the smallest measurement is less than the max.
refinishing limit, replace the brake disc (see page
18-11).
lf the disc is beyond the service limit for parallelism,
refinish the brake disc with an on-car brake lathe.
The Kwik-Lathe produced by Kwik-way
Manufacturing Co. and the "Front Brake Disc
Lathe" offered by Snap-on Tools Co. are approved
for this operation.

Rear Brake Pads Inspection and Replacement
Frequent inhalation of brake pad dust, regardless ofmaterial composition, could be hazardous to your
hea hh.. Avoid breathing dust particles.. Never use an air hose or brush to clean brake
assemblies, Use an OSHA-approved vacuum
cleaner.
Inspection
'1. Raise the rear of the vehicle, and support jt with
safety stands in the proper location (see page 1-8).Remove the rear wheels,
2. Check the thickness of the inner pad (A) andouterpad (B). Do not include the thickness of the brakepad backing plate.
Brake pad thickness:
Standard: 8.5 9.5 mm {0.33-0.37 in.}
Service limit: 1.6 mm (0.06 in.)
B -::--
lf the brake pad thickness is less than the servicelimit, replace allthe pads as a set.
3.

Replacement
1. Remove the bolt (A) and brake hose {B} from themounting bracket.
Remove the caliper bolts (C), and remove thecaliper (D) from the caliper bracket.
Remove the pad shims (A) and pads (B).3.

Limit Switch Adjustment
1. Remove the headliner (see page 20-54).
Fully closed position adiustment
2. With the moonroof wrench, close the glass (A) fully:
. Make sure both link lifters (B) are parallel, and in the position shown.. Check the g lass fit to the roof panel and the glass height (see page 20-37).
5x0.8mm5 N.m {0.5 kgf.m,4lbf.ft)
3. With an open-end wrench, loosen the limit switch mounting bolts (C).
4. Adjust the limit switch (D):
' Move the switch plate (E) a little at a time, then secure it atthe position where you hear a faint click when theswitch cam (F) pushes the position switch (open/close).. Check that the switch plate contacts the switch bracket (G).

Heating and Air Gonditioning
1.
Compressor Clutch Check
Check the armature plate for discoloration, peeling,
or other damage. lf there is damage, replace the
clutch set (see page 21-49),
Check the rotor pulley bearing play and drag by
rotating the rotor pulley by hand. Beplace the
clutch set with a new one if it is noisy or has
excessive play/drag (see page 21-49).
Measure the clearance between the rotor pulley (A)
and the armature plate (B) all the way around. lf the
clearance is not within specified limits, remove the
armature plate (see page 21-49) and add or remove
shims as needed to increase or decrease clearance.
Clearance: 0.510.15 mm {0.02010.006 in.)
NOTE: The shims are available in four thicknesses:
0.1 mm.0.2 mm,0.4 mm, and 0.5 mm.

4. Release the field coil con nector f rom the holder,
then disconnect it. Check the thermal protector for
continuity. lf there is no continuity, replace the
thermal protector (see page 21-51).
NOTE: The thermal Drotector will have no
continuity above 252to270"F \122lo 132'C). When
the temperature drops below 241 to 219'F (116 to
104'C), the thermal protector will have continuity.
Check resistance of the field coil. lf resistance is not
within specifications, replace the field coil
(see page 21-49).
