brake
drag torque after pad
installation.
NOTE
To secure the disc

the
nuts.
Securely attach
the
pad clip
to the
caliper support.
Caution
Do
not deposit grease or other
dirt on pad or brake disc
friction
surfaces.

correctly
fits to the prolection on the
pad's rear
surface.
Be careful that
the piston boot
does not become caught,
when lowering the caliper assembly and install
the lock pin.
With the engine running, forcefully depress the brake pedal
five or six times, and then check whether or not the stroke
of the parking brake lever
is within the
standard value.
lf there is a deviation from the
standard value, adjust the
stroke
of
the parking brake lever. (Refer
to
GROUP
36-Service Adjustment
Procedures.)
Check brake drag torque as follows.
(1)
Start engine and hold brake pedal
down for
5 seconds.
(2) Stop
engine.
(3) Turn brake disc forward 10
times.
(4) Check brake drag torque
with
spring
scale.
lf
the difference between
brake drag
torque
and hub
torque
exceeds
the
standard value, disassemble piston and clean
piston. Check for corrosion or worn piston seal, and check
the
sliding condition
of the lock pin sleeve and guide pin
sleeve.
