FRONT DISC BRAKE

Front Brake Pads, Shims and Retainers VK56

WARNING:

Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of airborne

particles or other materials.

CAUTION:

• While removing brake pads never 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 body. In this case, hang caliper body with a wire so as not to stretch the brake

hose.

• Do not damage the piston boot.

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

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

• Keep rotor free from brake fluid.

• Burnish the brake contact surface after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a

soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to 

BR-39, "Brake Burnishing"

.

Removal and Installation of Brake Pad

INFOID:0000000005260216

1. Apply Molykote AS-880N grease between the inner and outer brake pad backing and shim, then attach

shim and shim covers to the brake pads.

2. Attach pad retainer to torque member, Apply Molykote 7439

grease, then install the brake pad, shims and shim covers to the

torque member.

CAUTION:

When attaching pad retainer, attach it firmly so that it is

flush with torque member, as shown.

3. Using a suitable tool push pistons into caliper body.

CAUTION:

When pushing in piston, brake fluid returns to master cylin-

der reservoir tank. Watch the level of the brake fluid in the

reservoir tank.

NOTE:

Use a suitable tool to make it easier to push the pistons into the caliper body.

4. Remove the suitable wire, then swing the caliper body down over the brake pad assemblies.
5. Install the lower sliding pin bolt and tighten to specification. Refer to 

BR-37, "Exploded View of Brake

Pads"

.

6. Check the brakes for drag.
7. Inspect the brake fluid level, refill if necessary. Refer to 

BR-20, "Drain and Refill"

.

8. Install the front wheel and tire. Refer to 

WT-49, "Rotation"

.

Brake Burnishing

INFOID:0000000005260217

Burnish 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 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.
