4. Remove the following parts from caliper support,
(1) Outer shim
(2) Pad assembly
(3) Pad & wear indicator assembly
(4) Clip
(5) Inner shim A
(6) Inner shim B
(7) Outer shim A
(8) Outer shim B
(Up to 1993 models)
Using the following method, measure the drag force of the
disc brake after installation of the brake assembly.
5. With the brake assembly removed, use a spring scale
to measure the rotary sliding resistance of the hub in
the forward direction.
Disengage the drive shaft and companion flange.
NOTE
Secure the disc to the hub with wheel nuts.
6. Securely attach the pad clip to the caliper support.
Caution
Do not deposit grease or other dirt on pad or brake
disc friction surfaces.
7. Clean the piston and then using the special tool, push
the piston into the cylinder (caliper).
8. cFWD (All models), AWD (Up to 1993 models)>
With care not to allow the piston boot to be wedged,
lower the caliper assembly and fit the lock pin.
9. Start the engine, depress the brake pedal firmly two to
three times and stop the engine.
10. Give the brake disc ten turns in the forward direction.
11. Using a spring scale, measure the rotary sliding resistance
of the hub in the forward direction.
12. Obtain the drag force of the disc brake (the difference
between the values measured in 11 and 5).
Standard value: 70 N (15.4 Ibs.) or less
13. If the drag force of the brake exceeds the standard value,
disassemble the piston and check for dirty or corroded
piston sliding surface and deteriorated piston seal.
