0.5 — 2 mm (0.02 — 0.08 in) [When pulling the
brake pedal upward with a force of less than
10 N (1 kgf, 2 lb).]]
3) If it is not within the specification, adjust it by ad-
justing the brake booster operating rod length.

C: INSPECTION
1) If the stop light switch does not operate properly
(or if it is not secured at the specified position), re-
place with a new part.
Specified position L:
2 mm (0.079 in)
2) Measure the clearance between the threaded
end of the stop light switch and the stopper.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to rotate the stop light switch.
Stop light switch clearance A:
0.8 mm (0.031 in)
3) If it is not within the specification, adjust it by ad-
justing the position of the stop light switch.

D: ADJUSTMENT
Loosen the lock nut, and adjust the stop light switch
position until the clearance between the threaded
end of the stop light switch and stopper (A) be-
comes 0. 8 mm (0. 031 in). Then, tighten the lock
nut.
Tightening torque:
8 N·m (0.8 kgf-m, 5.8 ft-lb)
NOTE:
Tighten lock nut B until the threaded end of switch
contacts the stopper. Hold the switch so that it does
not rotate, and loosen the lock nut B approx. 60°.
The clearance (A) will become 0.3 mm (0.012 in).

PARKING BRAKE
11) Remove the parking brake cable from lever.
12) Remove the retainer from the secondary side
brake shoe. Remove the parking lever and washer
from brake shoe.
B: INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
Be sure the lining surface is free from oil and
grease.
1) Apply brake grease to the following locations.
Brake grease:
Brake Grease (Part No. 003602002)
•Six contact surfaces of brake shoe rim and back
plate gasket
•Contact surface of the brake shoe and the an-
chor pin
•Contact surface of the lever and strut
•Contact surface of the brake shoe and the ad-
juster assembly
•Contact surface of the brake shoe and the strut
•Contact surface of the lever and brake shoe
2) Install in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
•Install the strut spring of both right and left wheel
facing vehicle front.
•Install the adjuster assembly so that the screw
section will be towards the rear of the vehicle.
3) Adjust the parking brake. JUSTMENT, Parking Brake Assembly (Rear Disc
Brake).>
4) Drive the vehicle to break-in the parking brake
lining.
(1) Drive the vehicle at about 35 km/h (22
MPH).
(2) lightly step on the parking brake pedal.
(3) Drive the vehicle for about 200 m (0.12 mile)
in this condition.
(4) Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the parking brake to
cool down. Repeat again from step (1).
(5) After breaking-in, re-adjust the parking
brakes.
C: INSPECTION
1) Measure the brake disc rotor inside diameter. If
the disc is scored or worn, replace the brake disc
rotor.
Disc rotor inside diameter:
Standard:
210 mm (8.27 in)
Service limit:
211 mm (8.31 in)
2) Measure the lining thickness. If it exceeds the
limit, replace shoe assembly.

Pipe Assembly
POWER ASSISTED SYSTEM (POWER STEERING)
C: INSPECTION
Check all disassembled parts for wear, damage or other problems. Repair or replace the defective parts as
necessary.
CAUTION:
Although the surface layer materials of rubber hoses have excellent weathering resistance, heat re-
sistance and resistance for low temperature brittleness, they are likely to be damaged chemically by
brake fluid, battery electrolyte, engine oil and automatic transmission fluid and their service lives are
to be very shortened. Wipe off hoses immediately if any of these come into contact with the hoses.
Since resistances for heat or low temperature brittleness are gradually declining according to time
accumulation of hot or cold conditions for the hoses and their service lives are shortening accord-
ingly, it is necessary to perform careful inspection frequently when the vehicle is used in hot weather
areas, cold weather areas and a driving condition in which many steering operations are required in
short time.
Particularly continuous work of relief valve over 5 seconds causes to reduce service lives of the hos-
es, the oil pump, the fluid, etc. due to over heat.
