WARNING:
Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of airborne
particles or other materials.
CAUTION:

While removing cylinder body never depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.

It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or
replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.

Do not damage piston boot.

If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.

Always replace shims and shim covers as a set when replacing brake pads.

Burnish brake contact surface after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or it a soft
pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-25, "
BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE" .
Removal and Installation of Brake PadAFS001RZ
REMOVAL
1. Remove tires from vehicle with power tool.
2. Remove lower sliding pin bolt.
3. Suspend cylinder body with a wire and remove pad and shim from torque member.
INSTALLATION
1. Attach inner shim and shim cover to inner pad, and outer shim to outer pad.
2. Push piston in so that pad is firmly installed and mount cylinder body to torque member.
NOTE:
Using a disc brake piston tool (commercial service tool), etc., makes it easier to push in piston.
CAUTION:
By pushing in piston, brake fluid returns to master cylinder reservoir tank. Watch the level of the
surface of reservoir tank.
3. Attach pat retainer to torque member.
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.
4. Install lower sliding pin bolt and tighten it to the specified torque.
5. Check brake for drag.
6. Attach tires to the vehicle.
