DIAGNOSIS
LINING INSPECTION
1. 2. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Remove the front wheels. Refer to Section 2E, Tires and Wheels. 3. Visually check the linings for minimum thickness and wear. 4. Measure the thickness. Important : The minimum thickness of the inner or the outer pad is 7 mm (0.28 inch). 5. Install the brake pads in axle sets only. 6. Install the front wheels. Refer to Section 2E, Tires and Wheels. 7. Lower the vehicle.

ROTOR INSPECTION
Thickness variation can be checked by measuring the thickness of the rotor at four or more points around the circumference of the rotor. All measurements must be made at the same distance in from the edge of the rotor. A rotor that varies by more than 0.01 mm (0.0004 inch) can cause pedal pulsations and/or front end vibration during brake applications. A rotor that does not meet these specifications should be refinished to specifications or replaced.

4D ­ 2IFRONT DISC BRAKES
During manufacturing, the brake rotor and the tolerances of the braking surface regarding flatness, thickness variation, and lateral runout are held very close. The maintenance of close tolerances on the shape of the braking surfaces is necessary to prevent brake roughness. Remove the rotor. Refer to "Rotor" in this section. Fasten the brake rotor to the wheel hub with two wheel bolts. 4. Fasten a dial indicator to the brake caliper. 5. Set the gauge probe tip to approximately 10 mm (0.39 inch) from the outer edge of the brake rotor, perpendicular to the disc and under slight preload. 6. Remove the dial indicator and the wheel bolts connecting the rotor to the hub. Important : Since accurate control of the rotor tolerances is necessary for proper performance of the disc brakes, refinishing of the rotor should be done only with precision equipment. 7. Refinish the rotor, if required, with precision equipment. Discard the rotor if it fails to meet the above specifications after refinishing. 8. Install the rotor. Refer to "Rotor" in this section. 2. 3.

In addition to these tolerances, the surface finish must be held to a specified range. The control of the braking surface finish is necessary to avoid pulls and erratic performance and to extend lining life. Using a commercially available dial indicator, check lateral runout as follows: Notice : Permissible lateral runout is a maximum 0.03 mm (0.0012 inch). If lateral runout exceeds the specification, ensure that there is no dirt between the rotor and the hub and that contact surfaces are smooth and free from burrs. 1. Position the shift lever in NEUTRAL.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
ON­VEHICLE SERVICE SHOE AND LINING
Removal Procedure
1. 2. 3. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Remove the front wheels. Refer to Section 2E, Tires and Wheels. Remove the lower bolt of the caliper assembly retaining frame.

Important : Caliper assembly removal is not necessary to service the brake pads. 4. 5. Pull the caliper piston housing up. Remove the brake pads.

Installation Procedure
1. Measure the minimum lining thickness. Refer to "Lining Inspection" in this section. 2. Install the brake pads into the caliper. 3. Push the piston inward, if needed. Notice : Take care not to damage the piston seal when the piston housing frame is pulled down. 4. Pull down the caliper piston housing and secure it to the retaining frame with the lower bolt.

Tighten
5. 6. Tighten the retaining frame­to­caliper housing bolts to 27 NSm (20 lb­ft). Install the front wheels. Refer to Section 2E, Tires and Wheels. Lower the vehicle.

CALIPER ASSEMBLY
Removal Procedure
1. 2. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Mark the position of the front wheels relative to the wheel hubs and remove the wheels. Refer to Section 2E, Tires and Wheels. Remove the bolt and the washers attaching the brake hose to the caliper. Disconnect the brake hose, and plug the openings in the caliper and the brake hose to prevent fluid loss and contamination. Remove the caliper mounting bolts from the steering knuckle, and remove the caliper assembly.

1. Install the caliper assembly with the mounting bolts.

Tighten
2. Tighten the caliper­to­steering knuckle mounting bolts to 95 NSm(70 lb­ft). Connect the brake hose.

Tighten
Tighten the brake hose inlet fitting­to­caliper bolt and washers to 40 NSm (30 lb­ft).

Install the front wheels. Refer to Section 2E, Tires and Wheels. 4. Lower the vehicle. 5. Fill the master cylinder to the proper level with clean brake fluid. 6. Bleed the caliper. Refer to Section 4A, Hydraulic Brakes. 7. Recheck the fluid level. Notice : Do not move the vehicle until a firm pedal is obtained, or improper braking action will result. 8. Repeatedly press the brake pedal to bring the pads in contact with the rotor.

3.

ROTOR
Removal Procedure
Notice : Do not hang the caliper assembly from the brake hose. Any resulting internal hose restriction will impede uniform braking action. Important : To guarantee uniform braking on both sides, both rotors must have identical surfaces regarding smoothness and scoring depth. For this reason, always replace both rotors. 1. Remove the caliper assembly without disconnecting the brake hoses. Refer to "Caliper Assembly" in this section. 2. Remove the rotor­to­front wheel hub detent screws. 3. Pull off the rotor.

Installation Procedure
1. 2. Inspect the rotor. Refer to "Rotor Inspection"in this section. Install the rotor to the front wheel hub by tightening the detent screw.

Tighten
3. Tighten the rotor­to­front wheel hub detent screw to 4 NSm (35 lb­in). Install the caliper assembly. Refer to "Caliper Assembly" in this section.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND SYSTEM OPERATION
DISC BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY
This caliper has a single bore and is mounted to the steering knuckle with two mounting bolts. Hydraulic pressure, created by applying the brake pedal, is converted by the caliper to a stopping force. This force acts equally against the piston and the bottom of the caliper bore to move the piston outward and to slide the caliper inward, resulting in a clamping action on the rotor. This clamping action forces the linings against the rotor, creating friction to stop the vehicle.

Replace all components included in the repair kits used to service this caliper. Lubricate the rubber parts with clean brake fluid to ease assembly. Do not use lubricated shop air on brake parts, as damage to the rubber components may result. If any hydraulic component is removed or disconnected, it may be necessary to bleed all or part of the brake system. Replace the pads in axle sets only. The torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners. Perform the service operations on a clean bench, free from all mineral oil materials.
