DISASSEMBLY SERVICE POINTS

.

<<A>> PISTON BOOT/PISTON REMOVAL

CAUTION

Blow air gradually to remove the pistons. The pistons will 
rush out if a force of air is applied suddenly.

als. Blow compressed air through the brake hose installation 
area to remove the piston and piston boot.

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.

INSPECTION

M1351015000580

• Check the cylinder for wear, damage or rust.

• Check the piston surface for wear, damage or rust.

• Check the caliper body for wear.

• Check the pad for damage or adhesion of grease, check the 

backing metal for damage.

.

BRAKE PAD WEAR CHECK

WARNING

•

Always replace both brake pads on each wheel as 
a set (both front wheels or both rear wheels). Fail-
ure 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 
moving parts.

Measure thickness at the thinnest, most worn area of the pad.
Replace the pad assembly if pad thickness is less than the limit 
value.

Standard value: 10.0 mm (0.39 inch)
Limit: 2.0 mm (0.08 inch)
