Attach a guide pin (with "g" on the bolt head) at the bleeder nipple side of the
caliper body and a lock pin (with "l" on the bolt head) at the opposite side. INSPECTION
Check the cylinder for wear, damage or rust. Check the piston surface for wear, damage or rust. Check the caliper body or sleeve for wear. Check the pad for damage or adhesion of grease, check the backing metal for
damage.
PAD WEAR CHECK 1. Measure thickness at the thinnest and most worn area of the pad.
Standard value: 10 mm (0.39 inch)
Minimum limit: 2.0 mm (0.08 inch)
WARNING:
Always replace both brake pads on each wheel
as a set (both front wheels or both rear wheels).
Failure to do so will result in uneven braking,
which may cause unreliable brake operation. If there is significant difference in the thickness
of the pads on the left and right sides, check the
sliding condition of the piston and slide pins.
