INSPECTION
1. INSPECT BRAKE CYLINDER AND PISTON
(a) Check the brake cylinder bore and front disc brake
piston for rust or scoring.
2. INSPECT PAD LINING THICKNESS
(a) Using a ruler, measure the pad lining thickness.
Standard thickness:
12.0 mm (0.472 in.)
Minimum thickness:
1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
3. INSPECT FRONT DISC BRAKE PAD SUPPORT
PLATE
(a) Inspect the front disc brake pad support plate (No.
1) and front disc brake pad support plate (No. 2).
Make sure that they have sufficient rebound, no
deformation, cracks or wear, and have had all rust
and dirt cleaned off.
4. INSPECT DISC THICKNESS
(a) Using a micrometer, measure the disc thickness.
Standard thickness:
28.0 mm (1.102 in.)
Minimum thickness:
26.0 mm (1.024 in.)
REASSEMBLY
1. INSTALL FRONT DISC
(a) Aligning the matchmarks, install the front disc.
HINT:
Select the installation position where the disc has
the minimum runout.
2. INSPECT DISC RUNOUT
(a) Temporarily fasten the disc with the hub nuts.
Torque: 103 N*m (1,050 kgf*cm, 76 ft.*lbf)
(b) Using a dial indicator, measure the disc runout 10
mm (0.39 in.) away from the outer edge of the disc.
Maximum disc runout:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
(c) If the disc runout is the maximum value or greater,
check the bearing play in the axial direction and
check for the axle hub runout (See page AH-5). If
the bearing play and axle hub runout are normal,
adjust the disc runout or grind it on a "On-car" brake
lathe.
3. TEMPORARILY TIGHTEN FRONT DISC BRAKE
BLEEDER PLUG
(a) Temporarily install the front disc brake bleeder plug
to the front disc brake cylinder sub-assembly.

4. INSTALL FRONT DISC BRAKE BLEEDER PLUG CAP
5. INSTALL PISTON SEAL
(a) Apply lithium soap base glycol grease to a new
piston seal.
(b) Install the piston seal to the front disc brake cylinder
sub-assembly.
6. INSTALL FRONT DISC BRAKE PISTON
(a) Apply lithium soap base glycol grease to the front
disc brake piston and new cylinder boot.
(b) Install the cylinder boot to the front disc brake
piston.
(c) Install the front disc brake piston to the front disc
brake cylinder sub-assembly.
NOTICE:
Do not install the piston forcibly in the front disc
brake cylinder sub-assembly.
7. INSTALL CYLINDER BOOT
(a) Install a new cylinder boot to the front disc brake
cylinder sub-assembly.
NOTICE:
Install the boot securely to the grooves of the
cylinder and piston.
(b) Using a screwdriver, install the set ring.
NOTICE:
Do not damage the cylinder boot.
8. INSTALL FRONT DISC BRAKE BUSH DUST BOOT
(a) Using soft jaws on the vise, hold the front disc brake
cylinder mounting LH in the vise through aluminum
plates.
(b) Place front disc brake cylinder mounting LH in vise.
(c) Apply lithium soap base glycol grease to the sealing
surface of 2 new front disc brake bush dust boots.
(d) Using a socket wrench (19 mm) and hammer, drive
the 2 front disc brake bush dust boots to the front
disc brake cylinder mounting LH.

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT BRAKE BOOSTER
(a) Air tightness check.
(1) Start the engine and stop it after 1 or 2 minutes.
Depress the brake pedal several times slowly.
HINT:
If the pedal goes down farthest at the 1st time,
and gradually rises at the 2nd or 3rd time, the
booster is airtight.
(2) Depress the brake pedal while the engine is
running, and stop the engine with the pedal
depressed.
HINT:
If there is no change in the pedal reserve
distance after holding the pedal for 30 seconds,
the booster is airtight.
(b) Operating check.
(1) Depress the brake pedal several times with the
ignition switch OFF and check that there is no
change in the pedal reserve distance.
(2) Depress the brake pedal and start the engine.
HINT:
If the pedal goes down slightly, the operation is
normal.
