Remove the front wheel ＆ tire.
Tightening torque:
88.3 ~ 107.9 N.m (9.0 ~ 11.0 kgf.m, 65.1 ~ 79.6 lb-ft)
Loosen the hose eyebolt (C) and caliper mounting bolts (B), then remove the front caliper assembly (A).
Tightening torque:
Brake hose to caliper (C):
24.5 ~ 29.4 N.m (2.5 ~ 3.0 kgf.m, 18.1 ~ 21.7 lb-ft)
Caliper assembly to knuckle (B):
78.5 ~ 98.1 N.m (8.0 ~ 10.0 kgf.m, 57.9 ~ 72.3 lb-ft)
Do not loosen the bolts(E) instead of guide rod bolt.
Remove the front brake disc by loosening the screws (A).
Loosen the guide rod bolt (B) and pivot the caliper (A) up out of the way.
Tightening torque:
21.6 ~ 31.4 N.m (2.2 ~ 3.2 kgf.m, 15.9 ~ 23.1 lb-ft)
Replace pad shim (D), pad retainers (C) and brake pads (B) in the caliper carrier (A).
Check the brake pads for wear and fade.
Check the brake disc for damage and cracks.
Remove all rust and contamination from the surface, and measure the disc thickness at 8 points, at least, of same distance (5mm) from the brake disc outer circle.
Front brake disc thickness
- Standard: 28 mm (1.10 in)
- Service Limit: 26.4 mm (1.04 in)
- Standard: 26 mm (1.02 in)
- Service Limit: 24.4 mm (0.96 in)
Deviation: Less than 0.005mm (0.0002in)
If wear exceeds the limit, replace the discs and pad assembly left and right of the vehicle.
Check the pad wear. Measure the pad thickness and replace it, if it is less than the specified value.
Pad thickness
Standard value: 11 mm (0.43 in)
Service limit: 2.0 mm (0.0787 in)
Check that grease is applied, to sliding contact points. Check for metal damage to the pad and backing.
Place a dial gauge about 5mm (0.2 in.) from the outer circumference of the brake disc, and measure the runout of the disc.
Brake disc runout
Limit: 0.04 mm (0.0016 in.) or less (new one)
If the runout of the brake disc exceeds the limit specification, replace the disc, and then measure the runout again.
If the runout does not exceed the limit specification, install the brake disc after turning it 180° and then check the runout of the brake disc again.
If the runout cannot be corrected by changing the position of the brake disc, replace the brake disc.
Installation is the reverse of removal.
Use a SST (09581-2T100) when installing the brake caliper assembly.
Do not hit piston end by hammer or prying directly against piston face with screwdriver to push in piston.
How to use the SST (09581-2T100)
Connect an air hose(B) to the SST after confirming that the valve of the SST is surely closed.
Input the SST in the caliper and press the caliper piston while opening the valve of the SST slowly couter clock wise.
Close the valve (A) of the SST and disconnect the air hose (B); then, open the valve again to get the rest of air out and remove the SST from the caliper.
After installation, bleed the brake system. (Refer to Brake system bleeding)
