Front Disc Brake Pad On-Vehicle InspectionS7RS0B4206002
Inspect pad linings (1) periodically according to
maintenance schedule whenever wheels are removed
(for tire rotation or other reason). Take a look through
each end (or hole) of caliper and check lining thickness
of outside and inside pads.
If lining is worn and its thic kness (“a” in figure) is less
than limit, all pads must be replaced at the same time.
Front brake pad thickness “a” (lining thickness)
Standard: 10 mm (0.40 in.)
Limit: 2 mm (0.08 in.)
Front Disc Brake Pad Removal and InstallationS7RS0B4206003
NOTE
When replacing brake pad, replace it on the
right and left.

Removal
1) Loosen wheel nuts, lifted vehicle and remove wheels referring to “Wheel Remova l and Installation in
Section 2D”.
2) Remove caliper pin bolts (1). 3) Remove caliper (1) from caliper carrier (2).
NOTE
Hang removed caliper (1) with a wire hook (4)
or the like so as to prevent brake hose from
bending and twisting excessively or being
pulled.
Don’t operate brake pedal with brake pads
removed.

4) Remove brake pads (3).
5) Remove brake pad spring (1) as shown in figure.
Installation
WARNING!
Do not apply grease on pad lining surface.

1) Apply small amount of pad grease “a” (included in spare parts) to pad spring and set brake pad spring
as shown in figure.

2) Set brake pad springs (1), shim (2) and install brake pads (3).
NOTE
Install right side brake pad with wear
indicator (4) to vehicle center side.

3) Install caliper and tighten caliper pin bolts (a) to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Caliper pin bolt (a): 26 N·m (2.6 kgf-m, 19.0 lb-ft)
4) Install wheel and lower lift.
5) Tighten wheel nuts to specified torque. Tightening torque
Wheel nut (a): 85 N·m (8.5 kgf-m, 61.5 lb-ft)
6) After completion of installation, check for brake effectiveness.
Front Disc Brake Pad InspectionS7RS0B4206004
Check pad lining for wear. When wear exceeds limit,
replace with new one.
CAUTION!
Never polish pad lining with sandpaper. If
lining is polished with sandpaper, hard
particles of sandpaper will be deposited in
lining and may damage disc. When pad lining
requires correction, replace it with a new one.

Front brake pad thickness (lining thickness)
Standard: 10 mm (0.40 in.)
Limit: 2 mm (0.08 in.)
NOTE
When pads are removed, visually inspect
caliper for brake fluid leak. Correct leaky
point, if any.

Front Disc Brake Caliper Removal and
Installation
S7RS0B4206005
Removal
1) Hoist vehicle and remove wheel.
2) Loosen flexible hose joint bolt (1) a little at caliper.
CAUTION!
Be careful not to twist flexible hose while
loosening the bolt.

3) Remove caliper pin bolts (1).
4) Remove caliper fr om caliper carrier.
5) Disconnect flexible hose fr om caliper using care not
to twist it. As this will allow brake fluid to flow out of
flexible hose, have a container ready beforehand.

6) After completing installation, fill reservoir with brake
fluid and bleed air from brake system referring to “Air
Bleeding of Brake System in Section 4A”.
7) Check each installed part for fluid leakage.
8) Perform brake test and check fluid leakage.
Front Disc Brake Caliper Disassembly and
Assembly
S7RS0B4206006
Disassembly
CAUTION!
• Clean around caliper with brake fluid before disassembly.
• Be careful not to damage inside (bore side) of cylinder.

1) Remove piston with air blown into flexible hose bolt installation hole.
WARNING!
Do not apply too highly compressed air
which will cause piston to jump out of
cylinder. Place a cloth (1) to prevent piston
from damage. It should be taken out
gradually with moderately compressed air.
Do not place your fingers in front of piston
when using compressed air.

2) Remove cylinder boot.
3) Remove piston seal using a thin blade like a thickness gauge, etc.
4) Remove bleeder plug and cap from caliper.

Assembly
Assemble parts in reverse order of disassembly,
observing the following instructions.
CAUTION!
• Wash each part cleanly before installation in the same fluid as the one used in master
cylinder reservoir.
• Never use other fluid or thinner.
• Before installing piston seal or cylinder boot to cylinder, apply brake fluid to them.
• Install a new piston seal into groove in cylinder securely making sure that it is not
twisted.
• Before installing caliper to carrier, check for slid pin smooth movement in thrust
direction.
• After reassembling brake lines, bleed air from them.

• Install piston seal, boot and piston to caliper referring to the following instructions.
1) Replace with a new piston seal (1) at every overhaul. After applying rubber grease (included in repair kit)
or brake fluid, fit piston seal (1) into groove in
cylinder taking care not to twist it. 2) Before inserting piston (1) into cylinder, apply rubber
grease (included in repair kit) or brake fluid to new
boot “a” and install it onto piston as shown.
3) Fit boot as it is in figure into boot groove in cylinder with fingers.
4) Insert piston into cylinder by hand and fit boot in boot groove in piston.
NOTE
Check that boot is fitted in boot groove
securely all around piston and cylinder.

5) To confirm that boot is fitted in its groove in cylinder
properly, pull piston out of cylinder a little but do not
take it all out.

Pin Boot and Cylinder Boot
Check boots for breakage, crack and damage.
If defective, replace.
Piston Seal
Excessive or uneven wear of pad lining may indicate
unsmooth return of piston.
In such case, replace rubber seal.
