Rear Disc Rotor

REMOVAL
1. Set the vehicle on a lift.
2. Loosen the wheel nuts.
3. Lift-up the vehicle, and then remove the wheels.
4. Release the parking brake.
5. Remove the two mounting bolts, and then remove the disc brake assembly.





6. Suspend the disc brake assembly so that hose is not stretched.
7. Remove the disc rotor.

NOTE: If the disc rotor is difficult to remove try following two methods in order.

1. Turn the adjusting screw using a flat tip screwdriver until brake shoe gets away enough from the disc rotor.





2. If the disc rotor seizes up within hub, drive the disc rotor out by installing an 8-mm bolt in holes B on disc rotor.





INSTALLATION
1. Install in the reverse order of removal.
2. Adjust the parking brake.

INSPECTION

1. Check bearing axial end play and hub runout before disc rotor runout limit inspection.
2. Secure the disc rotor by tightening five wheel nuts.
3. Set a dial gauge 10 mm (0.39 inch) inward of rotor outer perimeter. Turn the disc rotor to check runout. If the disc rotor runout exceeds the service limit, resurface the disc rotor. After resurfacing, check disc rotor thickness as in step 4.





Disc rotor runout limit. 0.070 mm (0.0028 inch)
4. Set a micrometer 10 mm (0.39 inch) inward of the rotor outer perimeter, and then measure the disc rotor thickness. If the thickness of disc rotor exceeds the service limit, replace with a new disc rotor.
