Installation Procedure
1. Install the caliper assembly with the mounting bolts.
Tighten
Tighten the caliper–to–steering knuckle mounting
bolts to 95 NSm(70 lb–ft).
2. Connect the brake hose.
Tighten
Tighten the brake hose inlet fitting–to–caliper bolt and
washers to 40 NSm (30 lb–ft).
3. Install the front wheels. Refer to Section 2E, Tires

4. Lower the vehicle.
5. Fill the master cylinder to the proper level with
clean brake fluid.
6. Bleed the caliper. Refer to Section 4A, Hydraulic
Brakes.
7. Recheck the fluid level.
Notice : Do not move the vehicle until a firm pedal is ob-
tained, or improper braking action will result.
8. Repeatedly press the brake pedal to bring the pads
in contact with the rotor.
ROTOR
Removal Procedure
Notice : Do not hang the caliper assembly from the brake
hose. Any resulting internal hose restriction will impede
uniform braking action.
Important : To guarantee uniform braking on both sides,
both rotors must have identical surfaces regarding
smoothness and scoring depth. For this reason, always
replace both rotors.
1. Remove the caliper assembly without disconnecting
the brake hoses. Refer to ”Caliper Assembly” in this
section.
2. Remove the rotor–to–front wheel hub detent
screws.
3. Pull off the rotor.
Installation Procedure
1. Inspect the rotor. Refer to ”Rotor Inspection”in this
section.
2. Install the rotor to the front wheel hub by tightening
the detent screw.
Tighten
Tighten the rotor–to–front wheel hub detent screw to
4 NSm (35 lb–in).
3. Install the caliper assembly. Refer to ”Caliper As-
sembly” in this section.

CALIPER OVERHAUL
Disassembly Procedure
1. Remove the caliper assembly. Refer to ”Caliper As-
sembly” in this section.
2. Remove the caliper guide pin that connects the cali-
per piston housing to the retaining frame.
3. Remove the front pad brake set, including the pad
springs, from the caliper. Refer to ”Shoe and Lining”
in this section.
CAUTION : Do not place fingers in front of the piston
in an attempt to catch or protect it when applying
compressed air. This could result in serious injury.
Important : Insert a piece of hardwood into the caliper
housing interior when removing the piston.
4. Using compressed air, blow out the piston from
housing, and remove the outer piston seal.
5. Remove the inner seal.

DIAGNOSIS
LINING INSPECTION
1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
2. Remove the rear wheels. Refer to Section 2E, Tires
and Wheels.
3. Visually check the brake shoe linings for minimum
thickness and wear.
4. Measure the thickness.
Important : The minimum discard thickness of the brake
shoe lining is 2 mm (0.08 inch).
5. Install the shoes in axle sets only.
6. Install the rear wheels. Refer to Section 2E, Tires
and Wheels.
7. Lower the vehicle.
ROTOR INSPECTION
Brake rotors are manufactured with close tolerances for
thickness variation, flatness, and lateral runout, but pits
and grooves are created in rotors during usage. Lack of
uniformity of the braking surfaces of the rotor can cause
inadequate braking and a pulsating pedal during braking.
The surface finish of the rotor is also important because
an unsuitable surface finish can cause pulling and rapid
wear of the brake shoe lining. If a rotor does not meet the
specification, it should be refinished to specification or re-
placed. Refinishing of the rotor should only be done with
precision equipment.
Thickness variation can be checked by measuring the
thickness of the rotor at four or more points around the cir-
cumference of the rotor. All measurements must be made
at the same distance from the edge of the rotor. A rotor that
varies by more than. 1.0 mm (0.04 inch) can cause pedal
