WA RN ING:
lClean brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of airborne particles or
other materials.
CAUTION:
lWhen cylinder body is open, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
lBe careful not to damage piston boot or get oil on rotor. Always replace shims when replacing
pads.
lIf shims are rusted or show peeling of the rubber coat, replace them with new shims.
lIt is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for disassembly or replacement of caliper
assembly. In this case, suspend cylinder body with wire so as not to stretch brake hose.
lBurnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing drums or rotors, after replacing
pads or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer toBR-10, "
Brake Burnishing
Procedure".
InspectionEFS000CH
PAD THICKNESS
Check pad thickness by lifting vehicle, removing the wheel, and
looking through check hole on cylinder body. If necessary, use a
scale.

3. Remove union bolts and torque member mounting bolts, and
remove caliper assembly.
4. Remove disc rotor.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
lRefill with new brake fluid “DOT 3” or “DOT 4”.
lNever reuse drained brake fluid.
1. Install disc rotor.
2. Install caliper assembly. Tighten mounting bolts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Before installing caliper assembly, wipe oil and grease on the trailing arm washer seats and cali-
per assembly mounting surface.
3. Connect brake hose to caliper assembly and tighten union bolts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
lDo not reuse the copper washer for union bolts.
lSecurely assemble brake hose to protrusions on cylinder body.
4. Bleed air. Refer toBR-10, "
Bleeding Brake System".

DISASSEMBLY
WA RN ING:
Be careful not to pinch your fingers in the piston.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the cylinder inner wall.
1. Place a wooden block as shown in the figure. Blow air into union
bolt mounting hole to remove pistons and piston boots.

2. Using a slotted screwdriver, remove piston seals.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Cylinder Body
CAUTION:
Use new brake fluid to clean. Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene.
lCheck cylinder inner wall for corrosion, wear and damage. If corrosion, wear or damage is detected,
replace the cylinder body.
lMinor flaws caused by corrosion or foreign material can be removed by polishing the surface with fine
sandpaper. Replace the cylinder body, if necessary.
Torque Member
Check for wear, cracks and damage. If wear, cracks or damage is detected, replace the applicable part.
Piston
CAUTION:
The piston sliding surface is plated. Do not polish with sandpaper.
Check piston surface for corrosion, wear and damage. If corrosion, wear or damage is detected, replace the
applicable part.
Sliding Pin, Pin Bolt, and Pin Boot
Check sliding pin and sliding pin boot for wear, damage and cracks. If corrosion, wear or damage is detected,
replace the applicable part.
DISC ROTOR INSPECTION
Visual Inspection
Check surface of the disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks and serious damage. If uneven wear, cracks or seri-
ous damage is detected, replace it.
Run Out Inspection
1. Using wheel nuts, fix the disc rotor to the wheels hub. (2 or more positions)
2. Using a dial indicator, check run out.
CAUTION:
Before measuring, make sure that the axle endplay is 0 mm
(0 in).
3. If the run out is outside the limit, find the minimum run out point
by shifting the mounting positions of the disc rotor and wheel hub by one hole.
SFIA0141E
Measurement point:
At a point 10 mm (0.39 in) from the outer edge of the
disc.
Run out limit: 0.04 mm (0.0016 in) or
less

Thickness Inspection
Using a micrometer, check thickness of the disc rotor. If the thick-
ness is outside the standard, replace the disc rotor.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
When assembling, do not use rubber grease.
1. Apply rubber lubricant to piston seals, and install them to cylin-
der body.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse piston seals.
2. Apply brake fluid or rubber lubricant to piston boots. Cover pis-
ton end with piston boot. Install cylinder side lip on piston boot
properly into groove on cylinder body.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse piston boot.
3. Apply brake fluid to piston. Press piston into cylinder body by
hand. Assemble piston side lip on piston boot properly into
groove on piston.
CAUTION:
Press piston evenly and change pressing point to prevent
cylinder inner wall from being rubbed.
BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE
Burnish the brake contact surfaces according to the following procedure after refinishing or replacing drums or
rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
CAUTION:
Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive the vehicle on a straight smooth road at 50 km/h (31MPH).Standard thickness : 28.0 mm (1.102 in)
Wear limit : 26.0 mm (1.024 in)
Maximum uneven wear (measured at 8 positions):
0.02 mm (0.0008 in) or less

lClean dust on brake caliper and pad with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with compressed
air.
CAUTION:
lNever depress brake pedal while removing cylinder body because the piston will pop out.
lDo not remove brake hose and torque member mounting bolts unless disassembling or replacing
caliper assembly. Hang the cylinder body with a wire so that the brake hose is not under tension.
lBe careful not to damage the piston boot. Do not allow brake fluid to get on the rotor.
lWhen replacing brake pads, always replace inner shims, outer shims, and shim covers as a set.
