If the thickness is less than wear thickness + 0. 3 mm (0.012 in), replace the disc rotor. Refer to
RAX-7, "
Removal and Installation".
Thickness
Check the thickness of the disc rotor using a micrometer. Replace
the disc rotor if the thickness is below the wear limit. Refer to RAX-7,
"Removal and Installation".
ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION:
Burnish contact surfaces between pads according to the following procedure after refinishing or
replacing brake pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
Be careful of vehicle speed because the brake does not operate firmly/securely until pads 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 the brake.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely fitted. Wear thickness : Refer to
BR-47, "
Rear Disc Brake".
Wear thickness : Refer to BR-47, "
Rear Disc Brake".
