WARNING:

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

CAUTION:

• While removing cylinder body, never depress the brake pedal because the piston will pop out.
• It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or

replacement of the cylinder body. 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 the rotor clean of brake fluid.
• Burnish the brake contact surfaces when refinishing or replacing brake rotors, after replacing pads

or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to 

BR-29, "Brake Burnishing"

REMOVAL

1.

Remove master cylinder reservoir cap.

2.

Remove tires from vehicle with power tool.

3.

Remove bottom sliding pin bolt.

4.

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

INSTALLATION

1.

Apply M-77 grease or equivalent between pad plate and shim, shim and shim cover, and shim cover and
piston. Refer to 

MA-19, "Fluids and Lubricants"

.

2.

Attach the inner shim and shim cover to the inner pad, and the outer shim and outer shim cover to the
outer pad.

3.

Apply M7439 grease or equivalent to pad contact surface of pad retainers.

4.

Attach the pad retainers and pads to the torque member.

5.

Push the piston in so that the pad is firmly attached and attach the cylinder body to the torque member.
NOTE:
Using a disc brake piston tool (commercial service tool), makes it easier to push in the piston.

CAUTION:

By pushing in the piston, the brake fluid returns to the master cylinder reservoir tank. Watch the
level of the surface of the reservoir tank.

6.

Install the sliding pin bolt and tighten to the specification. Refer to 

BR-27, "Component"

.

7.

Inspect brake fluid level, then install master cylinder reservoir cap.

8.

Check brake for drag.

9.

Attach the tires to the vehicle. Refer to 

WT-6, "Rotation"

.

CAUTION:

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

BR-29, "Brake Burnishing"

shown to loosen and retract the brake shoes.

• Prior to removing disc rotor, make alignment mark using a

marker between the hub and disc rotor.

• Remove wheel nut and rotor.

BR-29, "Brake Burnishing"

.

Brake Burnishing

INFOID:0000000001724670

Burnish the brake contact surface according to the following procedure after refinishing or replacing rotors,
after replacing pads, 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.
