DISC BRAKE PAD CHECK AND REPLACEMENT
35100230045
NOTE
The left side outer brake pad has a wear indicator.
The wear indicator contacts the brake disc when the brake
pad thickness becomes 2 mm and emit a squealing sound
to warn the driver.
1. Check brake pad thickness through caliper body check
port.
Standard value: 10 mm
Limit: 2.0 mm
Caution
(1) When the limit is exceeded, replace the pads at
both sides, and also the brake pads for the wheels
on the opposite side at the same time.
(2) If there is a significant difference in the thickness
of the pads on the left and right sides, check the
sliding condition of the piston and guide pin.
2. Remove the guide pin. Lift caliper assembly and retain
with wires.
Caution
Do not wipe off the special grease that is on the guide
pin or allow it to contaminate the guide pin.
3. Remove the following parts from caliper support.
(1) Pad and wear indicator assembly
(2) Pad assembly
(3) Pad liner
(4) Outer shim
4. In order to measure the brake drag force after pad
installation, measure the rotary-sliding resistance of the
hub with the pads removed. (Refer to P.35A-20.)
5. Install the pads and the caliper assembly, and then check
the brake drag force. (Refer to P.35A-20.)
