CAUTION:
Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with compressed
air.
While removing brake pad or cylinder body, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop
out.
It is not necessary to remove torque member mounting bolts and brake hose except for disassem-
bly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so that brake
hose is not under tension.
Do not damage piston boot.
If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.
Keep rotor free from brake fluid.
When replacing brake pad, replace shim with a new one.
Removal and Installation of Brake PadEFS006JP
REMOVAL
1. Remove tires from vehicle.
2. Remove sliding pin bolt (lower side).
3. Hang cylinder body with a wire, and remove pads, shims and
pad retainers from torque member.
CAUTION:
When removing pad retainer from torque member, lift pad
retainer in the direction shown by arrow, so as not to
deform it.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply AS-880N grease or equivalent to the shims. Install shims to pads.
CAUTION:
Securely install shims according to mounting direction of pads.
2. Apply M7439 grease or equivalent to pad contact surface on pad retainers. Install pad retainers and pads
to the torque member.
CAUTION:
When installing pad retainer, attach it firmly so that it is
not lifted up from torque member, as shown.
3. Install cylinder body to torque member.
NOTE:
Use a disc brake piston tool (commercial service tool) to easily press to piston in.
CAUTION:
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank for fluid level because brake fluid returns to mas-
ter cylinder reservoir tank when pressing piston in.
4. Install lower sliding pin bolt (lower side), and tighten it to the specified torque. Refer to BR-24, "
Compo-
nents" .

DISC ROTOR INSPECTION
Visual Inspection
Check surfaces of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. Replace applicable part as neces-
sary.
Runout Inspection
1. Using wheel nuts, secure disc rotor to wheels hub 2 or more positions.
