General Description
Brakes ConstructionS6RW0D4101001
When the foot brake pedal is depressed, hydraulic pressure is developed in the master cylinder to actuate pistons (two
in front and four in rear).
The master cylinder is a tandem master cylinder. Brake pipes are connected to the master cylinder and they make two
independent circuits. One connects front right & rear left brakes and the other connects front left & rear right brakes.
In this brake system, the disc brake is used for the front wheel brake and drum brake (leading / trailing shoes) for the
rear brake.
The parking brake system is mechanical. It applies brake force to only rear wheels by means of the cable and
mechanical linkage system. The same brake shoes of rear drum brake are used for both parking and foot brakes.
NOTE
• The figures show LH steering vehicle.
• The difference between RH steering vehicle and LH steering vehicle is the location of the brake
master cylinder, the brake booster and ABS hydraulic unit / control module assembly.

Rear Brake Drum Removal and InstallationS6RW0D4306002
Removal
1) Hoist vehicle and remove rear wheel.
2) Release parking brake lever.
3) Remove brake drum (1) by using 8 mm bolts (2) (2
pcs).
Installation
1) Before installing brake drum, to maximize brake
shoe-to-drum clearance, put screwdriver between
rod and ratchet and push down ratchet.
NOTE
The figure show ratchet position where brake
shoe-to-drum clearance is maximum.

2) Confirm that inside of brake drum and brake shoes
are free from dirt and oil. And then install brake
drum.
3) Start engine and then depress brake pedal with
about 300 N (30 kg, 66 lbs) load at least 3 times until
adjuster actuator clicking sound from drum brake
can not be heard so as to obtain proper drum-to-
shoe clearance.
Adjust parking brake cable referring to “Parking
Brake Inspection and Adjustment in Section 4D”.
4) Install rear wheel.
5) Check to ensure that brake drum is free from
dragging and proper braking is obtained. Perform
brake test (foot brake and parking brake).
