Refer illustration shown.
1. Check the disc for abnormal wear/grooves (Minimum usable thickness of the disc is
22mm, check at 12mm inside from outer edge of disc)
2. Loosen & remove the bottom side sliding pin bolt. Swing up the caliper. Remove the
pads & check the pad thickness. The minimum usable pad thickness is 7 mm. (without
backing plate) if observed less; replace the pads. (The groove at the center of the pad
can also be used as a reference. If the pad has worn up to the end of the groove; it
should be replaced)
3. Measure the thickness at the thinnest and worn area of the pad. Replace pad assembly
when pad thickness is less than the limit value (7 mm).
4. Pad wear indicator is also provided to know pad wear limit.
5. Check for the oil leakage from Calipers/piston seals.
If the activity is done on a 2 post lift, ensure that the LSPV spring is disconnected

before lifting the vehicle. After lowering, re-connect the LSPV spring and ensure
that the setting height is correct.
If any pad is worn out (inboard /outboard) then replace both the pads.

If pads on one wheel only are worn, even then replace the other wheels also.

Any excessive difference between inboard and outboard wear indicates either

bent or seized sliding pin. Please check the complete hydraulic system besides the
calipers.
Always replace the front pads and shims together as a set.

Install inner pad with its wear indicator upward.

Inspect brake Pads at every 20000kms.
