Clean dust on cylinder body and brake pads 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 cylinder body. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.
Do not damage piston boot.
Burnish brake contact surface after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft
pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-24, "
BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE" .
Removal and Installation of Brake PadEFS004WI
REMOVAL
1. Remove tires from vehicle using power tool.
2. Remove lower sliding pin bolt.
3. Suspend cylinder body with a wire and remove pad retainers, pads, and shims from torque member.
INSTALLATION
1. Push pistons in so that pad is firmly installed and mount cylinder body to torque member.
NOTE:
Using a disc brake piston tool (commercial service tool), 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.
2. Attach pad retainers, pads, and shims to torque member.
NOTE:
Apply Molykote M-77 grease to shims and pad retainers where brake pads contact.
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.
3. Install lower sliding pin bolt and tighten it to the specified torque.
Refer to BR-20, "
Components" .
4. Check brake for drag.
5. Install tires to the vehicle. Refer to WT-7, "
Rotation" .
Removal and Installation of Brake Caliper Assembly and Disc RotorEFS004WJ
REMOVAL
1. Remove tires from vehicle using power tool.
2. Drain brake fluid as necessary. Refer to BR-9, "
Drain and Refill" .
NOTE:
Do not remove union bolt unless removing cylinder body from vehicle.
3. Remove torque member bolts.
NOTE:
Position cylinder body aside using suitable wire, as necessary.
NOTE:
When servicing cylinder body, remove sliding pin bolts and torque member from cylinder body.
