2. Using a dial indicator, check runout.
CAUTION:
Before measuring, make sure that wheel bearing axle end
play is within the sp ecification. Refer to FA X - 4 , "
On-Vehicle
Inspection" (2WD models), FA X - 11 , "On-Vehicle Inspection"
(AWD models).
3. If runout is outside the limit, find the minimum runout point by shifting the mounting positions of disc rotor and wheel hub by one hole.
4. If runout is still outside the limit after performing the above operation, replace or lathe the disc rotor.
[When lathing, use the Pro-Cut PFM On-Car Br ake Lathe (Tool No, 38-PFM90.5) or equivalent.]
Thickness Inspection
Using a micrometer, check thickness of disc rotor. If thickness is out-
side the specification, replace disc rotor.
Brake Burnishing ProcedureINFOID:0000000001327632
Burnish brake pad contact surfaces of disc rotor according to following procedure after refinishing or replacing
drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
CAUTION:
 Be careful of vehicle speed because brake does no t operate easily until pad and disc rotor are
securely fitted.
 Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive vehicle on straight, flat road.
2. Depress brake pedal with the power to stop vehicl e within 3 to 5 seconds until the vehicle stops.
3. Drive without depressing brake for a few minutes to cool brake.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely fitted. Measurement point
: At a point 10.0 mm (0.394 in)
from outer edge of disc.
Runout limit : 0.04 mm (0.0016 in) or less

3. Apply brake fluid to piston, and press piston into cylinder bodyby hand to assemble piston side lip on piston boot properly into
groove on piston.
CAUTION:
Press piston evenly and change the pressing point to pre-
vent the inner wall of cylinder from being rubbed.
4. Fix piston boot with retaining ring. CAUTION:
 Make sure boot is firmly in cylinder body groove.
 Do not reuse retaining ring.
5. Install sliding pin bolts and sliding pin boots to torque member.
6. Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or silicone- based grease to the backside of brake pad and to both
sides of shim, and attach inner shim and shim cover to inner pad, and the outer shim to outer pad.
7. Assembling shims and shim cover to pad. CAUTION:
When attaching pad retainer, inst all it firmly so that it does
not float up higher than torque member, as shown in the fig-
ure.
8. Install brake pad retainer and pad to torque member.
9. Install cylinder body. Tighten sliding pin bolts to the specified torque. Refer to BR-24, "
Component".
10. After installing caliper assembly, refill with new brake fluid and bleed air. Refer to BR-8, "
Bleeding Brake System".
DISC ROTOR INSPECTION
Visual Inspection
Check surfaces of disc rotor for uneven wear, cra cks, and serious damage. If a malfunction is detected,
replace applicable part.
Runout Inspection
1. Using wheel nuts, fix the disc rotor to wheels hub. (2 or more positions)
2. Using a dial indicator, check runout.
CAUTION:
Before measuring, make sure that wheel bearing axle end
play is within the specification. Refer to RAX-6, "
On-Vehicle
Inspection".
3. If runout is outside the limit, find minimum runout point by shift- ing mounting positions of disc rotor and wheel hub by one hole.

CAMSHAFT
CAMSHAFT BRACKET INNER DIAMETER
 Tighten camshaft bracket bolt with the specified tor que. Refer to "INSTALLATION" for the tightening proce-
dure.
 Measure inner diameter “A” of camshaft bracket with a bore gauge.
CAMSHAFT JOURNA L OIL CLEARANCE (Oil clearance) = (Camshaft bracket inner diameter) – (Camshaft journal diameter).
 If the calculated value exceeds the limit, replace either or both camshaft and cylinder head.
NOTE:
Camshaft brackets cannot be replaced as single part s, because there are machined together with cylinder
head. Replace whole cylinder head assembly.
Camshaft End Play
 Install a dial indicator in thrust direction on front end of camshaft. Measure the end play of a dial indicator when camshaft is moved
forward/backward (in direction to axis).
 Measure the following parts if out of the limit.
- Dimension “A” for camshaft No. 1 journal
- Dimension “B” for cylinder head No. 1 journal bearing
 Refer to the standards above, and then replace camshaft and/or cylinder head.
