Rear Brake Disc Replacement

NOTE: Keep any grease away from the brake disc/drum and the brake pads.

1. Raise and support the vehicle Service and Repair.

2. Remove the rear wheel.

3. Release the parking brake pedal fully.

4. Remove flange nuts (A), then remove the brake hose mounting bracket.





5. Remove the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts (B), and remove the caliper assembly (C) from the knuckle. To prevent damage to the caliper assembly or brake hose, use a short piece of wire to hang the caliper from the undercarriage. Do not twist the brake hose excessively.

6. Remove the two washers (A).






7. Remove the brake disc/drum flathead screws (A).





8. Remove the brake disc/drum (B) from the hub bearing unit.

NOTE:

- Remove the access plug (C), then if necessary, turn the adjuster nut (D) with a brake adjuster tool or a flat-tip screwdriver until the shoes become loose.
- If the brake disc/drum is stuck to the hub bearing unit, thread two 8 x 1.25 mm bolts (E) into the brake disc/drum to push it away from the hub bearing unit. Turn each bolt 90 degrees at a time to prevent the brake disc/drum from binding.

9. Install the brake disc/drum in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:

- Before installing the brake disc/drum, clean the mating surfaces between the hub bearing unit and the inside of the brake disc/drum.
- Adjust the parking brake.

10. Inspect the brake disc/drum runout.
