NOTE: Do not disconnect brake hose from caliper body.
4. Remove pad from support.
NOTE: If brake pad is difficult to remove, use the same procedure as for front disc brake pad.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply thin coat of Molykote AS880N (Part No. 26298AC000) to the frictional portion between pad and pad clip.
CAUTION: Do not allow oil or grease to adhere to the sliding surface of pad and disc rotor.
2. Check disc rotor thickness and runout.
3. Install pad on support.
4. Install caliper body on support.
Tightening torque: 39 Nm (4.0 kgf-m, 28.9 ft. lbs.)
NOTE: If it is difficult to push piston during pad replacement, loosen air bleeder to facilitate work.
5. Depress brake pedal several times.

INSPECTION
Check pad thickness (including back metal).
CAUTION:
^ Always replace the pads for both the left and right wheels at the same time. Also replace pad clips if they are twisted or worn.
^ A wear indicator is provided on the inner disc brake pad. If the pad wears down to such an extent that the end of the wear indicator contacts the disc rotor, a squeaking sound is produced as the wheel rotates. If this sound is heard, replace the pad.
^ Replace pad if there is oil or grease on it.
