• Check thickness of lining.
Disc Rotor Inner Diameter Inspection
• Check inner diameter insi de drum area of disc rotor.
Other Inspections
• Check shoe sliding surface on back plate for excessive wear and damage.
• Check anti-rattle pins for excessive wear and corrosion.
• Check return springs for sagging.
• Check adjuster for rough operation.
• When disassembling adjuster, apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or equivalent to the threads.
• Check either visually or with a vernier caliper to see if there is any excessive wear, cracks, or damage inside
drum area of disc rotor.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Refer to PB-9, "
Removal and Installation" and apply brake grease to the specified points during assembly.
• Assemble adjuster so that threaded part expands when rotating it in the direction shown by the arrow.
• Shorten adjuster by rotating it.
NOTE:
After replacing brake shoes or disc rotors, or if brakes do not func-
tion well, perform break-in operation as follows.
1. Adjust parking brake pedal stroke. Refer to PB-5, "
On-Vehicle
Service".
CAUTION:
• To prevent lining from getting too hot, allow a cool off period
of approximately 5 minutes after every break-in operation.
• Do not perform excessive break-in operations, because it may
cause uneven or early wear of lining.
2. Perform parking brake burnishing operation by driving the vehicle forward under the following conditions:
3. After burnishing operation, check pedal stroke of parki ng brake. Readjust if it is no longer at the specified
stroke. Refer to PB-5, "
On-Vehicle Service".

On-Vehicle Inspection and ServiceINFOID:0000000004920096
CHECKING CONDITION OF INSTALLATION
• Check installation condition of steering gear assembly, front suspension, axle and steering column.
• Check if movement exists when steering wheel is mo ved up and down, to the left and right and to the axial
direction.
• Check if the nuts for steering gear assembly are loose. Refer to ST-23, "
Removal and Installation".
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL PLAY
1. Turn tires straight ahead, start engine, then turn steer ing wheel to the left and right lightly, and measure
steering wheel movement on the outer circumference when steering wheel is turned up to the point where
tires start moving.
CHECKING NEUTRAL POSITION ON STEERING WHEEL
• Check neutral position on steering wheel after confirming that front wheel alignment is correct. Refer to FSU-
7, "Front Wheel Alignment".
1. Turn tires straight ahead, check if steering wheel is in the neutral position.
2. If it is not in the neutral position, remo ve steering wheel and reinstall it correctly.
3. If the neutral position cannot be attained by repositi oning the steering wheel two teeth or less on steering
stem, loosen tie-rod lock nuts of steering outer socket s, then adjust tie-rods by the same amount in the
opposite direction.
CHECKING STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
1. Park vehicle on a level, dry surface and set parking brake.
2. Start engine.
3. Bring power steering fluid up to operating temperature of 60 ° – 80 °C (140 ° – 176 °F).
4. Tires need to be inflated to specified pressure. Refer to WT-51, "
Tire".
5. Check steering wheel turning force using Tool when steering wheel has been turned 360 ° from the neutral position.
