DISC ROTOR INSPECTION
Visual Inspection

Check surface of disc rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. Replace if there are.

Runout Inspection

1.

Fix disc rotor to wheel hub using wheel nuts (2 or more posi-
tions). 

2.

Inspect runout using a dial gauge. [Measured at 10 mm (0.39 in)
inside the disc edge.]

NOTE:
Before measuring, make sure that wheel bearing axial end play
is within the specification. Refer to 

FAX-5, "WHEEL BEARING

INSPECTION"

 .

3.

When runout exceeds limit value, displace mounting positions of
disc rotor by one hole. And then find a position of the minimum value for runout.

4.

Replace or lathe disc rotor if runout is outside the specified value after performing the above operation.
(“MAD DL-8700”, “AMMCO 700 and 705” or equivalent.)

Thickness Inspection

Check thickness of the disc rotor using a micrometer. Replace disc
rotor if thickness is under the wear limit.

BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE

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

CAUTION:

Be careful of vehicle speed because the brake does not operate easily until pad and disc rotor are
securely fitted.

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

1.

Drive vehicle on straight, flat road. 

2.

Depress brake pedal with the power to stop vehicle within 3 to 5 seconds until the vehicle stops.

3.

Drive without depressing brake for a few minutes to cool the brake.

4.

Repeat steps 1 to 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely fitted.

WARNING:

Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of air borne
particles or other materials.

CAUTION:

While removing cylinder body, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.

It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or
replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.

Do not damage piston boot.

If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.

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

Keep rotor free from brake fluid.

Burnish the brake pads and disc rotor mutually contacting surfaces after refinishing or replacing
rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to 

BR-33, "BRAKE

BURNISHING PROCEDURE"

 .

Removal and Installation of Brake Pad

NFS000SJ

REMOVAL

1.

Remove tires from vehicle with power tool.

2.

Remove lower sliding pin bolt.

3.

Hang cylinder body with a wire, and remove pads, pad retainers, shims, and shim cover from torque mem-
ber.

CAUTION:

Deform pad retainer when removing pad retainer from torque member.

INSTALLATION

1.

Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or silicone-based grease to between pad and shim. Install inner
shim, inner shim cover to inner pad, and outer shim, outer shim cover to outer pad.

2.

Install pad retainers and pads to torque member.

3.

Press in piston until pads can be installed, and then install cylin-
der body to torque member.

CAUTION:

In the case of replacing a pad with new one, check a brake
fluid level in the reservoir tank because brake fluid returns
to master cylinder reservoir tank when pressing piston in.

NOTE:
Use a disc brake piston tool (commercial service tool) to easily
press piston. 

4.

Install upper sliding pin bolt and tighten to the specified torque.
Refer to 

BR-28, "Components"

 .

5.

Check rear disc brake for drag.

6.
