Removal and Installation of Brake Pad

REMOVAL
1. Remove tires from vehicle using power tool.
2. Remove lower sliding pin bolt.





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

CAUTION: When removing the pad retainer from the torque member, lift the pad retainer in the direction shown by the arrow (shown in the figure) so as not to deform it.

INSTALLATION
1. Apply Molykote AS880N grease between pad plate and shim, shim and shim cover, and shim cover and piston. Refer to "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS".
2. Attach the pad retainer and pad to the torque member.





CAUTION:
- When attaching the pad retainer, attach it firmly so that it does not float up higher than the torque member, as shown in the figure.

3. 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.

4. Install the sliding pin bolt and tighten to the specified torque.
Sliding pin bolt : 22 - 31 Nm (2.3 - 3.1 kg-m, 17 - 22 ft. lbs.)
5. Check brake for drag.
6. Attach the tires to the vehicle. Refer to "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.
