Remove and Installation of Brake PadREMOVAL
CAUTION:
^ Clean brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of airborne particles or other materials.
^ While removing pad assemblies, do not depress brake pedal, otherwise piston will pop out.
^ Be careful not to damage piston boot or get oil on rotor, Always replace shims when replacing pads.
^ If shims are rusted or show peeling of rubber coat, replace them with new shims.
^ It is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, suspend cylinder body with wire so as not to stretch brake hose.
^ Carefully monitor brake fluid level because brake fluid will return to reservoir when pushing back piston.
^ Burnish the brake pads (or linings) and disc rotors mutually contacting surfaces after refinishing or replacing drums or rotor, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to "Brake Burnishing Procedure".
1. Remove master cylinder reservoir cap.
2. Remove tire.
3. Remove lower sliding pin bolt.
4. Hang cylinder body with a wire, and remove pads, shims and pad retainers from torque member.
CAUTION:
^ Do not damage piston boot.
^ When removing pad retainer from torque member, lift pad retainer in the direction shown by arrow (shown in the figure) so as not to deform it.
^ Do not damage piston boot.
^ Keep rotor clean, free from brake fluid.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply brake grease to the back of pad and both sides of shim, and install inner shim and inner shim cover to inner pad, and outer shim and outer shim cover to outer pad.
2. Install pad retainers and pad assembles to torque member.
3. Install cylinder body to torque member.
CAUTION: When replacing pads with new ones, press in the piston until pads can be installed. In this case, carefully monitor the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank because brake fluid will return to reservoir tank of master cylinder.
4. Insert lower sliding pin bolt to tighten to the specified torque. Refer to "Component (AD14VE, AD14VF)".
5. Secure disc rotor with wheel nuts. Depress brake pedal a few times until it gets a responsive touch.
6. Check brake for drag.
7. Install tire to the vehicle.
