2. Remove the lock pin bolt. Pivot the caliper assembly and hold it with wires.
CAUTION: Do not wipe off the special grease that is on the
lock pin or allow it to contaminate the lock pin.

3. Remove the following parts from caliper support.
1. Pad assembly
2. Pad and wear indicator assembly or Pad assembly
3. Shim
4. Clip
4. In order to measure the brake drag force after pad installation, measure the
rotary-sliding resistance of the hub with the pads removed (Refer to
INSPECTION
).
5. Install the pads and caliper assembly, and then check the brake drag force
(Refer to INSPECTION
).

Before turning the brake disc, the following conditions should be checked.

Courtesy of MITSUBISHI MOTOR SALES OF AMERICA.
BRAKE DISC THICKNESS CHECK 1. Using a micrometer, measure disc thickness at eight positions, approximately
45 degrees apart and 10 mm (0.4 inch) in from the outer edge of the disc.
FRONT BRAKE DISC
Standard value: 26.0 mm (1.02 inches)
Minimum limit: 24.4 mm (0.96 inch)
REAR BRAKE DISC
Standard value: 10.0 mm (0.39 inch)
Minimum limit: 8.4 mm (0.33 inch)
CAUTION: Disc brakes must be kept within the allowable
service values in order to maintain normal brake
operation.

2. If the disc thickness is less than the limits, replace it with a new one. If
thickness variation exceeds the specification, turn rotor with an on-the-car type
brake lathe ("Accuturn-8750" or equivalent). If the calculated final thickness
after turning the rotor is less than the standard value, replace the disc. BRAKE DISC RUN-OUT CHECK AND CORRECTION 1. Remove the brake assembly, and then hold it with wire.
2. Temporarily install the disc with the hub nut.
3. Place a dial gauge approximately 5 mm (0.2 inch) from the outer
circumference of the brake disc, and measure the run-out of the disc.
Limit:
< Front brake disc>: 0.03 mm (0.0012 inch)
< Rear brake disc>: 0.08 mm (0.0031 inch)

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.
