FRONT DISC BRAKE ASSEMBLY
BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM
35A-23
DISASSEMBLY SERVICE POINTS
When disassembling the disc brakes, disassemble
both sides (left and right) as a set.
<<A>> PISTON BOOT/PISTON REMOVAL
CAUTION
•
Blow air little by little to remove the pistons.
The pistons will rush out if a force of air is
applied suddenly.
•
If one piston has been removed completely, it
will become impossible to remove the second
piston.
Remove the pistons and the piston boots by pumping
in air from the brake hose connection. Be sure to use
the handle of a plastic hammer and adjust the height
of the two pistons so that the pistons protrude evenly.
<<B>> PISTON SEAL REMOVAL
CAUTION
Do not use a flat-tipped screwdriver or similar
tool to remove the piston seal. These may
damage the inner side of the cylinder.
1. Remove the piston seal with your finger tip.
2. Clean the piston surface and inner cylinder with
alcohol or brake fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4.
INSPECTION
M1351006300345
•
Check the cylinder for wear, damage or rust.

PAD WEAR CHECK
WARNING
•
Always replace both brake pads on each
wheel as a set. Failure to do so will result
in uneven braking, which may cause
unreliable brake operation.
•
If there is significant difference in the
thickness of the pads on the left and right
sides, check the sliding condition of the
piston and slide pins.
1. Measure thickness at the thinnest and most worn
area of the pad.
Standard value: 10.0 mm
Minimum limit: 2.0 mm
2. Replace the pad assembly if pad thickness is less
than the limit value.
