Check the lining thickness and condition of pads in
each caliper.
If the lining thickness of either pad is less than the
service limit (approximately the thickness of a dime),
replace both pads in the caliper as a set.
LINING THICKNESS:
Standard: .325~.381 (8.25 mm~9.65 mm)
Service Limit: .04 (1 mm)
If either pad is damaged, replace both pads in the
caliper as a set. J&J #010820A (sold individually)
BRAKE PAD INSPECTION
When removing or installing brake pads, remove a
su
ffi
cient quantity of brake
fl
uid from the master
cylinder to avoid leaking brake
fl
uid out of the
cap. Before pushing the caliper pistons back, clean
the exposed portions of the piston; this will avoid
damage to the piston seals.
Before removing the old pad, gently pry between
the disc and the old pad, moving the caliper piston
back into the caliper. This is necessary, as the piston
must be forced back into the brake cylinder bore to
provide su
ffi
cient clearance to install new brake pads.
Remove the brake pad retainer clip and remove each
brake pad by pulling straight up.
Place new pads in the caliper and install the retainer
clip. If the retainer clip shows signs of wear, replace it.
Re
fi
ll the master cylinder with fresh brake
fl
uid.
Pump the brake pedal several times to bring the pads
into adjustment.
Top o
ff
the brake
fl
uid level.
WARNING
Test the brake operation before putting
the go-kart back in service.
