WARNING: 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 brush assembly. Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner. REAR DISC BRAKE PADS Removal Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheels. Thoroughly clean outside of caliper to prevent dust and dirt from entering inside. Support caliper with a piece of wire to prevent damage to brake hose. Remove 2 caliper bolts and caliper from bracket. Remove pad shims and pads. Using vernier calipers, measure the thickness of each brake pad lining. Measurement does not include pad backing plate thickness. See DISC BRAKE SPECIFICATIONS . Remove pad retainers. Inspection Clean caliper thoroughly; remove any rust, and check for grooves and cracks. Check brake disc for damage and cracks. Measure brake pad thickness. See DISC BRAKE SPECIFICATIONS . If brake pad thickness is less than service limit, replace pads as a set. Installation 1. Install pad retainers. Apply Molykote M77 compound onto pad side of shim. Wipe excess grease off shim. Keep grease off discs and pads. Install brake pads and shims. Install inner pad with its wear indicator facing downward. If you are reusing pads, install in original position. Rotate caliper piston clockwise into cylinder, then align cutout in piston with tab on inner pad by turning piston back. See Fig. 15 . 2. Lubricate boot with rubber grease to avoid twisting. If boot is twisted, back it out and position properly. Install brake caliper. Install and torque caliper bolts to proper specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Install brake hose onto suspension arm with mounting bolt. After installation, check for leaks. Pump brake pedal several times to seat pads. Bleed brakes as necessary. See BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM . NOTE: Engagement of brake may require a greater pedal stroke immediately after brake pads have been replaced as a set. Several applications of brake pedal will restore normal pedal stroke.

REAR DISC BRAKE PADS Removal Raise and support rear of vehicle. Remove wheels and release parking brake. Remove caliper shield (if equipped). Remove caliper mounting bolts. Remove caliper from bracket. Suspend caliper using wire. Remove brake pads. Inspection Using a vernier caliper, measure friction pad thickness. Service limit is .06″ (1.5 mm). Installation 1. Apply Molykote M77 compound to pad side of inner and outer pad shims. Install brake pads and shims. Rotate caliper piston clockwise in caliper (if necessary). Ensure cutout in piston aligns with tab on inner pad. 2. Avoid twisting piston boot. If boot is twisted, back out piston and reposition boot. Install brake caliper and parking brake cable. Install caliper shield. Tighten shield mounting bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. 3. Pump brake pedal several times to seat pads. Bleed brakes as necessary. See BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM.

NOTE: The illustrations in this service information are used for different model years and/or models. Some variation may occur. However, the essential information in the illustrations is always correct. Preparations Remove the wheels on both sides. Removing brake pads NOTE: Minimum recommended pad thickness/replacement limit when installing new brake pads = 3.0 mm. Remove the retaining springs and locating pins for the brake calipers. Remove: – - – the securing spring (3) carefully so that it does not deform the protective caps (1) from the two locating pins (2) the locating pins, use hex socket 7 mm. Remove:the brake caliper from the holder the brake pads. Hang the brake caliper in a steel wire from the rear spring so as not to damage the brake hose. NOTE: Do not depress the brake pedal while the brake pads are removed. Cleaning the brake caliper

BRAKE PADS REPLACEMENT – REAR CAUTION: REFER TO BRAKE DUST CAUTION IN SERVICE PRECAUTIONS. Removal Procedure 1. Inspect the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir. 2. If the brake fluid level is midway between the maximum-full point and the minimum allowable level, no brake fluid needs to be removed from the reservoir before proceeding. 3. If the brake fluid level is higher than midway between the maximum-full point and the minimum allowable level, remove brake fluid to the midway point before proceeding. 4. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting. 5. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. 6. Inspect the caliper operation. Refer to Brake Caliper Inspection. 7. Place a C-clamp as shown. Slowly bottom the pistons of the caliper. It may be necessary to reposition the C-clamp to allow both of the pistons to bottom into the caliper bores. NOTE: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic’s wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from it’s mount and the hydraulic flexible brake hose is still connected. Failure to support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to bear the weight of the caliper, which may cause damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak.
