Rear

CAUTION: Original equipment or equivalent brake lining material is recommended to maintain the balance between front and rear brake performance. These brake parts have been carefully selected to provide the proper brake balance for purposes of both stopping distance and control over the full range of operation conditions. Installation of front or rear brake lining material with performance different from that of the replacement parts recommended for this vehicle can change the intended brake balance of this vehicle.


REMOVE OR DISCONNECT
1. 2/3 of brake fluid from master cylinder assembly.
2. Raise vehicle and suitably support. Mark relationship of wheel to axle flange.
3. Wheel and tire. Reinstall two wheel nuts to retain rotor.

Caliper Installation:

4. Bolt attaching park brake cable retainer to control arm. It is not necessary to disconnect parking brake cable from caliper parking brake lever or disconnect brake hose unless caliper is to be completely removed from vehicle.
5. Caliper mounting bolt.
6. Pivot caliper body assembly up. Do Not completely remove caliper assembly body.

Shoe And Lining Assemblies:

7. Outboard and inboard pads from caliper support.
8. Two pad clips from caliper support.

Positioning Piston Slots:

INSTALL OR CONNECT
1. Bottom piston assembly into caliper bore.
a) Use a suitable spanner type tool in piston slots to turn piston assembly and thread it into the caliper body assembly.
b) After bottoming piston, lift inner edge of boot next to piston assembly and press out any trapped air. Boot must lay flat.
c) Make sure slots in end of piston are positioned before pivoting caliper boot assembly down over pads in caliper support. Use suitable spanner type tool In piston slots to turn piston as necessary.
d) Whenever installing new pads, use new pad clips (provided in the original equipment disc pad kit).

2. Two pad clips in caliper support.
3. Outboard and inboard pads in caliper support.
a) Wear sensor is on outboard pad. Sensor is positioned downward at the leading edge of the rotor during forward wheel rotation.
b) Hold metal pad edge against spring end of clips in caliper support. Push pad in toward hub, bending spring ends slightly, and engage pad notches with support abutments.

4. Pivot caliper body assembly down over pad assemblies. Take car not to damage piston boot on inboard pad. Compress sleeve boot by hand as caliper body moves into position to prevent boot damage. After caliper body assembly is in position recheck installation of pad clips. If necessary, use a small screwdriver to reseat or center the pad clips on the support abutments.
5. Caliper mounting bolt. Tighten Bolt to 51 Nm (38 ft. lbs).
6. Park brake cable retainer and bolt to control arm.
7. Wheels and tires, aligning previous marks. Tighten Wheel nuts.
8. Apply approximately 778 N (175 lb.) force to brake pedal (after bleeding, if necessary) three times to seat pads against rotor.
