3.

Apply brake fluid to piston, and press piston into cylinder body
by hand to assemble piston-side lip on piston boot properly into
groove on piston.

CAUTION:

Press piston evenly and change the pressing point to pre-
vent inner wall of cylinder from being rubbed.

4.

Install sliding pins and sliding pin boots to torque member.

5.

Install torque member to knuckle spindle and tighten mounting
bolts to the specified torque.

CAUTION:

Before installing torque member to vehicle, wipe oil and
grease on washer seats on knuckle spindle and mounting
surface of torque member.

6.

Install pad retainers to torque member.

7.

After assembling shims and shim covers to pad, install it to
torque member.

CAUTION:

The inner pad and outer pad have pad-return mechanism on
upper side of pad retainer. When installing pad, be sure to install pad return lever to pad wear sen-
sor securely shown to left.

8.

Install cylinder body, and tighten sliding pin bolt to the specified torque.

9.

Install brake hose to cylinder body and tighten union bolts to the specified torque.

CAUTION:

Assemble brake hose securely to protrusions on cylinder body.

Do not reuse copper washer for union bolts.

10. After installing caliper assembly, refill with new brake fluid and bleed air.

Brake Burnishing Procedure

EFS000NV

Burnish brake contact surfaces according to following procedure after refinishing or replacing drums or rotors,
after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.

CAUTION:

Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.

1.

Drive the vehicle on a straight smooth road at 50 km/h (31 MPH).

2.

Use medium brake pedal/foot effort to bring the vehicle to a complete stop from 50 km/h (31 MPH). Adjust
brake pedal/foot pressure such that vehicle stopping time equals 3 to 5 seconds.

3.

To cool the brake system, drive the vehicle at 50 km/h (31 MPH) for 1 minute without stopping.

4.

Repeat steps 1 to 3, 10 times or more to complete the burnishing procedure.

Component

EFS000NN

CAUTION:

Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with compressed
air.

While removing cylinder body, never depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.

It is not necessary to remove mounting bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disas-
sembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so that
brake hose is not under tension.

Do not damage piston boot.

Always replace shims and shim covers as a set when replacing brake pads.

Keep brake fluid clean of rotor.

PAD THICKNESS

Remove wheel with vehicle lifted to check pad thickness from
check hole on cylinder body. If necessary, use a scale to check.

Pad Replacement

EFS000NP

REMOVAL 

WARNING:

Clean brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of airborne particles or other
materials.

CAUTION:

While cylinder body is open, do not depress brake pedal, otherwise piston will pop out.

Be careful not to damage piston boot or get oil on rotor, Always replace shims when replacing
pads.

If shims are rusted or show peeling of rubber coat, replace them with new shims.

It is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for disassembly or replacement of caliper
assembly. In this case, suspend cylinder body with wire so as not to stretch brake hose.

Carefully monitor brake fluid level because brake fluid will return to reservoir when pushing back
piston.

Burnish brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing drums or rotor, after replacing pads
or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.Refer to 

BR-29, "Brake Burnishing Proce-

dure"

 .

3.

Hang the cylinder body with a wire, and remove pads, pad
retainers, shims from torque member.

CAUTION:

Do not damage piston boot.

Keep brake fluid clean of rotor.

INSTALLATION 

1.

Apply disc brake grease to back of pad and both sides of shim, and install inner shim and shim cover to
inner pad, and outer shim and outer shim cover to pad.

2.

Apply disc brake grease to pad contact surface on pad retainer, and install pad retainers and pads to
torque member.

3.

Install cylinder body to torque member.

CAUTION:

When replacing pads with new ones, press in piston until pads can be installed. In this case, care-
fully monitor brake fluid level in reservoir tank because brake fluid will return to reservoir tank of
master cylinder.

4.

Insert lower sliding pin bolt to tighten to specified torque.

5.

Check brake for drag.

Caliper Removal and Installation 

EFS000NQ

REMOVAL
