DIAGNOSIS
LINING INSPECTION
1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
2. Remove the front wheels. Refer to Section 2E,
Tires and Wheels.
3. Visually check the linings for minimum thickness
and wear.
4. Measure the thickness.
Important : The minimum thickness of the inner or the
outer pad is 7 mm (0.28 inch).
5. Install the brake pads in axle sets only.
6. Install the front wheels. Refer to Section 2E, Tires
and Wheels.
7. Lower the vehicle.ROTOR INSPECTION
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 in from the edge of the rotor.
A rotor that varies by more than 0.01 mm (0.0004 inch) can
cause pedal pulsations and/or front end vibration during
brake applications. A rotor that does not meet these speci-
fications should be refinished to specifications or re-
placed.

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
and Wheels.
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.
