FRONT BRAKE PAD INSPECTION
Inspect pad linings (1) periodically according to maintenance
schedule whenever wheels are removed (for tire rotation or other
reason). Take a look through each end (or hole) of caliper and
check lining thickness of outside and inside pads.
If lining is worn and its thickness (“d”) in figure is less than limit, all
pads must be replaced at the same time.
Pad thickness “d” (Lining thickness)
Standard : 10.0 mm (0.394 in.)
Limit
: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.) for pad rim is painted black
3.0 mm (0.118 in.) for pad rim is painted brown
BRAKE DISC INSPECTION
Refer to BRAKE DISC of this section for inspection point and pro-
cedure.
REAR DRUM BRAKE SHOE ADJUSTMENT
Rear brake has self-adjusting mechanism but it does require ad-
justment for proper drum-to-shoe clearance when brake shoe has
been replaced or brake drum has been removed for some other
service.
Adjustment is automatically accomplished by depressing brake
pedal 2 to 3 times with approximately 30 kg (66 lbs) load after all
parts are installed.
Then check brake drum for dragging and brake system for proper
performance. After lowering vehicle from lift, brake test should be
performed.
