REPLACEMENT
Frequent inhalation of brake pad dust, regardless of material composition, could be hazardous to your
health.
• Avoid breathing dust particles.
• Never use an air hose or brush to clean brake assemblies.
1. Raise the rear of the vehicle and make sure it is securely supported. Remove the rear wheel.
2. Release the parking brake.
3. Remove the brake hose (A) from the suspension arm by removing the brake hose clip (B).
Thoroughly clean the outside of the caliper to prevent dust and dirt from entering inside.
Support the caliper with a piece of wire so that it does not hang from the brake hose.
4. Remove the two guide rods (C) and caliper (D) from the bracket.
5. Remove the pad shim (A) and brake pads (B).
6. Using vernier calipers, measure the thickness of each brake pad lining. Measurement does not include pad
backing plate (A) thickness.
Brake pad thickness:
Standard: 9 mm (0.35 in.)
Service limit: 2 mm (0.08 in.)
