It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or
replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, suspend cylinder body with wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.

Do not damage piston boot.

If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.

Always replace shim and inner shim cover as a set when replacing brake pads.

Keep rotor clean from brake fluid.

Burnish brake contact surface after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or it a soft
pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer toBR-32, "
BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE" .
Removal and Installation of Brake PadBFS000BZ
REMOVAL
1. Remove tyres from vehicle.
2. Remove lower sliding pin bolt.
3. Suspend cylinder body with wire, and remove pads, pad retain-
ers, shims, and shim cover from torque member.
CAUTION:
When removing pad retainers from torque member, lift pad
retainers in the direction by the arrow (shown in the figure)
so as not to damage it.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or silicone-based
grease to the both sides of inner shim and outer shim, install
inner shim and inner shim cover to inner pad and outer shim to
outer pad.
CAUTION:
Securely install shim cover according to shim mounting
direction.
2. Install pad retainers and pads to torque member.
CAUTION:
Securely assemble pad retainers so that they are not being
lifted up from torque member.
3. Press in piston until pads can be installed, and then install cylin-
der body to torque member.
NOTE:
Using a disc brake piston tool (commercial service tool) to easily
press piston in.
CAUTION:
When replacing pads with new ones, press in piston until
pads can be installed. In this case, carefully monitor brake fluid level in reservoir tank because
brake fluid will return to master cylinder reservoir tank.
4. Install lower sliding pin bolt, and tighten it to the specified torque. Refer to BR-26, "
Components" .
5. Secure disc rotor with wheel nut. Depress brake pedal a few times until it gets a responsive touch.
6. Check front disc brake for drag.
7. Install tyres to vehicle.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION:

Refill with new brake fluid “DOT 3 or DOT 4”.

Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
1. Install disc rotor.
CAUTION:
Align the matching marks of disc rotor and wheel hub,
which were marked at the time of removal when reusing
disc rotor.
2. Install brake caliper assembly to vehicle, and tighten torque
member mounting bolts to the specified torque. Refer to BR-26,
"Components" .
CAUTION:
Before installing torque member to vehicle, wipe oil and
grease on washer seats on steering knuckle and mounting
surface of torque member.
3. Install brake hose to brake caliper assembly, and tighten union bolts to the specified torque. Refer to BR-
26, "Components" .
CAUTION:

Do not reuse copper washers for union bolts.

Connect brake hose aligning with caliper assembly mounting protrusion.
4. Refill with new brake fluid and bleed air. Refer to BR-10, "
Bleeding Brake System" .
5. Check front disc brake for drag.
6. Install tyres to vehicle.
Disassembly and Assembly of Brake Caliper AssemblyBFS000C1
NOTE:
Do not remove torque member, pads, shims, inner shim cover, and pad retainers when disassembling and
assembling cylinder body.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove caliper assembly from Vehicle. Refer to BR-28, "Removal and Installation of Brake Caliper
Assembly" .
2. Remove sliding pin bolts, from cylinder body, and remove pads
shims shim cover and pad retainers from torque member.
CAUTION:

When removing pad retainers from torque member, lift
pad retainer in the direction by the arrow (shown in the
figure) so as not to damage it.

Do not drop pads, shims, inner shim cover and pad
retainers from torque member.
3. Remove sliding pins and sliding pin boots from torque member.

4. Place a wooden block as shown in the figure, and blow air from
union bolt mounting hole to remove pistons and piston boots.
CAUTION:
Do not get fingers caught in pistons.
5. Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, remove piston seal from cylin-
der body.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage a cylinder inner wall.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Cylinder Body
CAUTION:
Use new brake fluid to clean. Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene.

Check inner wall of cylinder for corrosion, wear, and damage. If a malfunction is detected, replace cylinder
body.

Minor flaws caused by corrosion or a foreign material can be removed by polishing a surface of inner wall
with a fine sandpaper. Replace cylinder body, if necessary.
To r q u e M e m b e r
Check for wear, cracks, and damage. If a malfunction is detected, replace torque member.
Piston
CAUTION:
Piston sliding surface is plated. Do not polish with sandpaper.
Check piston surface for corrosion, wear, and damage. If a malfunction is detected, replace applicable part.
Sliding Pin, Sliding Pin Bolt, and Sliding Pin Boot
Check sliding pins and sliding pin boots for wear, damage, and cracks. If a malfunction is detected, replace
applicable part.
ASSEMBLY
1. Apply polyglycol ether based lubricant to piston seal, and install
them to cylinder body.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse piston seal.

2. Apply rubber grease to piston boot. Cover piston end with piston
boot, and install cylinder side lip on piston boot properly into a
groove on cylinder body.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse piston boot.
3. Apply brake fluid to piston, and press piston into cylinder body
by hand to assemble piston side lip on piston boot properly into
groove on piston.
CAUTION:
Press piston evenly and vary the pressing point to prevent
cylinder inner wall from being rubbed.
4. Install sliding pins and sliding pin boots to torque member.
5. Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or silicone-based
grease to the both side of inner shim and outer shim, install
inner shim and inner shim cover to inner pad and outer shim to
outer pad.
CAUTION:
Securely install inner shim cover according to shim mount-
ing direction.
6. Install pad retainer, inner pad assembly and outer pad assembly
to torque member.
CAUTION:

Securely assemble pad retainers so that it is not being
lifted up from torque member.
7. Press in piston until pads can be installed, and then install cylinder body to torque member.
NOTE:
Use a disc brake piston tool (commercial service tool) to easily press piston in.
8. Tighten sliding pin bolts to the specified torque.BR-26, "
