NOTE :
In some cases, it may be necessary to retract the cal-
iper piston in its bore a small amount in order to pro-
vide sufficient clearance between the pads and the
rotor.
3. Remove the front caliper guide bolts (1).
(Tighten: Front caliper guide bolts to 23 N·m)
4. Remove the brake caliper.
5. Remove the brake pads from the caliper mounting
bracket.
6. Measure the thickness of the brake pad. If the
brake pads measure less than 1 mm, replace the
brake pads.
7. Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Installation Notes:
• Before installing brake pads, completely retract the
caliper piston back into the bore of the caliper.
• After installation and before moving the vehicle,
pump the brake pedal several times to set the
pads to the brake rotor.
• Check and adjust the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir after replacing brake pads, check brake fluid
level to ensure it is between MIN and MAX .
• Road test the vehicle and make several stops to
wear off any foreign material on the brakes and to seat the brake pads.
• After installation and before moving the vehicle, pump the brake pedal several times to set the pads to the
brake rotor.
Inspection
• Brake Pads
− Visually inspect brake pads for uneven lining wear.
− Inspect for excessive lining deterioration.
− Check the clearance between the tips of the wear indicators (if equipped) on the pads and the brake rotors.
− If a visual inspection does not adequately determine the condition of the lining, a physical check will be
necessary.
− To check the amount of lining wear, remove the disc brake pads from the vehicle.
− Measure the brake pad minimum thickness.
− Brake pads must be replaced when usable material on a brake pad lining measured at its thinnest point
measures one millimeter or less.
− Replace both disc brake pads (inboard and outboard) on each caliper.
− It is necessary to replace the pads on the opposite side of the vehicle as well as the pads failing inspection
to maintain proper braking characteristics.
