Removal and Installation of Brake Pads

INFOID:0000000009883552

WARNING:

Clean dust on caliper and brake pads 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 shims 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-31, "Brake Bur-

nishing Procedure"

REMOVAL

1. Partially drain brake fluid. Refer to

BR-16, "Drain and Refill"

2. Remove front wheels and tires using power tool.
3. Remove lower sliding pin bolts.

4. Hang cylinder body with a wire, remove pads, pad retainers,

shims, and shim covers from torque member.

CAUTION:

When removing the pad retainer from the torque member,

lift it in the direction indicated by the arrow as shown so

that it does not deform.

INSTALLATION

1. Push piston in using suitable tool.

CAUTION:

In the case of replacing a pad with new one, check the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank

because brake fluid returns to reservoir tank when pressing piston in.

2. Apply Molykote AS-880N grease or equivalent to between shim cover and shim. Install inner shim, inner

shim cover to inner pad, and install outer shim, outer shim cover to outer pad.

3. Install pad retainers and pads to torque member.

CAUTION:

• Securely assemble pad retainers so that they are not being lifted up from torque member.

• Both inner and outer pads have a pad return system on the pad retainer. Install pad return lever

securely to pad wear sensor.

4. Install cylinder body to torque member.
5. Install sliding pin bolts, and tighten it to the specified torque.
6. Check front disc brake for drag and correct as necessary.
7. Install front wheels and tires. Refer to

WT-49, "Rotation"

8. Refill with new brake fluid and check level. Refer to

BR-16, "On Board Inspection"

Brake Burnishing Procedure

INFOID:0000000009883553

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 seated.

• 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 through 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely seated.

WARNING:

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

particles or other materials.

• 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.

NOTE:

When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc., cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spill-

ing.

REMOVAL

1. Remove front wheels and tires using power tool.
2. Fasten disc rotor using wheel nut.

3. Drain brake fluid. Refer to

CO-11, "Changing Engine Coolant"

4. Remove union bolt (A), copper sealing washers (1), and brake

hose from caliper assembly.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse copper sealing washers.

5. Remove torque member bolts, and remove brake caliper

assembly.

CAUTION:

Do not drop brake pads.

6. Apply matching marks to disc rotor and wheel hub assembly as

shown if the disc rotor is to be reused, then remove disc rotor.

CAUTION:

Put matching marks on wheel hub assembly and disc rotor

if the disc rotor is to be reused.

INSTALLATION

1. If reusing the disc rotor, use the matching marks to align disc

rotor on the wheel hub assembly as shown, then install disc

rotor using a wheel nut to hold it in place.

CAUTION:

Use matching marks on wheel hub assembly and disc rotor

if the disc rotor is to be reused.
