REAR DISC BRAKE
Revision: 2005 July 2005 FX
4. Fix piston boot with retaining ring.
CAUTION:

Make sure boot is firmly in cylinder body groove.

Do not reuse retaining ring.
5. Install sliding pin bolt and sliding pin boots to torque member.
6. Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or silicon-based grease to the backside of pad and to both sides of shim, and attach inner shim and shim cover to inner pad, and the outer shim and outer shim cover to
outer pad.
7. Assembling shims and shim covers to pad. CAUTION:
When attaching pad retainer, attach it firmly so that it does
not float up higher than torque member, as shown in the fig-
ure.
8. Attach pad retainer and pad to torque member.
9. Install cylinder body. Tighten sliding pin bolts to the specified torque.
DISC ROTOR INSPECTION
Visual Inspection
Check surface of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. If any non-standard condition is
detected, replace applicable part.
Runout Inspection
1. Using wheel nuts, fix disc rotor to wheel hub. (2 or more positions)
2. Inspect runout using a dial gauge. [Measured at 10 mm (0.39 in) inside disk edge.]
NOTE:
Make sure that wheel bearing axial end play is within the specifi-
cation before measuring runout. Refer to RAX-5, "
On-Vehicle
Inspection and Service" .
3. If runout is outside the limit, find the minimum runout point by shifting mounting positions of disc rotor and wheel hub by one
hole.
4. If runout still out of specification, turn rotor with on-car brake lathe (“MAD, DL-8700”, “AMMCO 700 and 705” or equivalent).

On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceADS000C4
Make sure the mounting conditions (looseness, back lash) of each component and component status (wear,
damage) are normal.
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION

Move wheel hub in the axial direction by hand. Make sure there is no looseness of wheel bearing.

Rotate wheel hub and make sure there is no unusual noise or other irregular conditions. If there are any
irregular conditions, replace wheel bearings.
Removal and InstallationADS000C5
REMOVAL
1. Remove tire with power tool.
2. Remove brake caliper with power tool. Hang it in a place where it will not interfere with work. Refer to BR-
27, "Removal and Installation of Brake Caliper Assembly" .
NOTE:

Avoid depressing brake pedal while brake caliper is removed.
3. Remove disc rotor.
4. Remove wheel sensor from axle. Refer to BRC-57, "
WHEEL SENSORS" .
CAUTION:
Do not pull on wheel sensor harness.
5. Remove cotter pin. Then remove lock nut from drive shaft.
6. Separate drive shaft from wheel hub and bearing assembly by lightly tapping the end with a suitable ham- mer and wood block. If it is hard to separate, use a suitable puller.
7. Remove fixing bolts of wheel hub and bearing assembly with power tool, then remove wheel hub and bearing assembly from axle.
8. Remove parking brake cable and parking brake shoe from back plate. Refer to PB-5, "
PARKING BRAKE
SHOE" and PB-3, "PARKING BRAKE CONTROL" .
9. Remove fixing nuts of anchor block with power tool, then remove anchor block and back plate from axle. Axial end play : 0 mm (0 in)
1. Drive shaft 2. Bushing 3. Axle
4. Back plate 5. Anchor block 6. Wheel bearing
7. Wheel hub 8. Cotter pin

10. Loosen fixing bolts and nuts of front lower link, radius rod, and rear lower link in side of suspension mem-
ber.
11. Set jack under rear lower link. Then remove fixing bolt in front lower link side of shock absorber with power tool.
12. Remove bolt and nut in axle side of rear lower link with power tool. Then remove coil spring. Refer to RSU-15, "
REAR LOWER LINK & COIL SPRING" .
13. Remove fixing bolts and nuts in axle side of front lower link, radius rod with power tool.
14. Remove suspension arm and cotter pin at axle, then loosen mounting nut.
15. Use a ball joint remover (suitable tool) to remove suspension arm from axle. Be careful not to damage ball joint boot.
CAUTION:
Tighten temporarily mounting nut to prevent damage to threads and to prevent ball joint remover
(suitable tool) from coming off.
16. Remove axle from vehicle.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Ball Joint Inspection
Check for boot breakage, axial looseness, and torque of suspension arm ball joint. Refer to RSU-11,
"INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL" .
INSTALLATION

Refer to RAX-5, "Removal and Installation" for tightening torque. Install in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
Refer to component parts location and do not reuse non-reusable parts.

Perform final tightening of installation position of suspension links (rubber bushing) under unladen condi-
tions with tires on level ground, Check wheel alignment. Refer to RSU-5, "
Wheel Alignment Inspection" .

After adjusting wheel alignment, adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-6, "Adjust-
ment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .
Disassembly and AssemblyADS000C6
DISASSEMBLY
Wheel Bearing
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble if wheel bearing has no trouble.
1. Remove wheel bearing fixing bolts and anchor block fixing nuts, and remove wheel hub and bearing assembly, back plate and anchor block from axle.
2. Using a drift (SST) and a puller (suitable tool), press wheel hub out to remove from wheel bearing.
