Replacement
Rear Brake Caliper Components:
REMOVE OR DISCONNECT
1. Raise and suitably support vehicle.
2. Parking brake cable at equalizer.
3. Tire and wheel. Install wheel nuts to retain rotor (39).
4. Brake hose fitting bolt/screw (32), brake hose and brake hose gaskets (34) only if caliper is being removed for overhaul. Discard old brake hose gaskets (34). Plug hole in rear brake caliper (14) and brake hose.
Park Brake Cable Attachment:
5. Parking brake lever return spring (4) only if defective. Discard parking brake lever return spring (4) if coils are opened.
6. Parking brake cable (35) from parking brake actuator lever (5) and parking brake cable bracket (8).
7. Vibration dampener nut (41) and vibration dampener (40) from parking brake cable bracket (8), if necessary.
8. Brake caliper guide pin bolt (13) and discard.
9. Rear brake caliper bolt (9) and discard, only if removing caliper from vehicle.
10. Rear brake caliper (14) from rotor (39) and brake caliper mounting plate (17). If caliper overhaul or replacement is not required, hang rear brake caliper (14) from suspension to avoid damage to brake hose.
11. Inner and outer pads (29 and 30) only if they are being replaced or if brake caliper mounting plate(17) is being removed.
12. Brake pad anti-squeal shim (10), if inner and outer pads (29 and 30) were removed.
a. Inspect Caliper guide pins (15) for free movement in caliper mounting plate (17). Caliper guide pin boot (16) for proper seating in retaining groove of caliper guide pin (15) and rear caliper mounting plate (17). Replace guide pins (15) or guide pin boots (16) if corroded, worn or damaged. Lubricate the inner diameters of the caliper bolt bushings with silicone grease and also lubricate the caliper bolts with silicone grease.
b. Inspect Inner and outer pads (29 and 30) for wear and maximum taper of 0.15 mm (0.006 inch). Replace with new pads (29 and 30) if they are tapered beyond specification. Replace inner and outer pads (29 and 30) in sets of four.
Removing Rear Brake Hose:
13. Brake hose fitting bolt/screw (32). If through-hole in brake hose fitting bolt/screw (32) is blocked, remove blockage or replace brake hose fitting bolt/screw (32).
INSTALL OR CONNECT
1. New brake pad anti-squeal shim (10), if removed.
2. Inner and outer pads (29 and 30), if removed. Whenever rear disc brake pads are replaced, immediately check the parking brake free-travel. Adjust as necessary. Outer pad (30) with insulator is installed toward rear brake caliper (14). Inner pad (29) with wear sensor is installed nearest to the caliper piston (19). Wear sensor must be in leading position with forward wheel rotation. If not, use other inner pad (29) in replacement kit.
3. Rear brake caliper (14) over rotor (39) and into the caliper mounting plate (17).
4. New brake caliper guide pin bolt (13). Tighten Brake caliper guide pin bolt (13) to 37 Nm (27 ft. lbs.).
5. New rear brake caliper bolt (9), if removed. Tighten Rear brake caliper bolt (9) to 37 Nm (27 ft. lbs.).
6. Brake hose, new brake hose fitting gaskets (34) and brake hose fitting bolt/screw (32), if removed. Tighten Brake hose fitting bolt/screw (32) to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.).
7. Vibration dampener (40) and vibration dampener nut (41) to parking brake cable bracket (8), if removed. Tighten Vibration dampener nut (41) to 50 Nm (37 ft. lbs.).
8. Parking brake cable (35) to parking brake cable bracket (8) and parking brake actuator lever (5), and parking brake cable equalizer.
9. Parking brake lever return spring (4), if removed.
10. Bleed brake hydraulic system, if brake hose fitting was removed.
11. Lower vehicle.
12. Cycle parking brake.
13. Raise and suitably support vehicle. Inspect Parking brake actuator levers to make sure they are against stops on rear brake caliper (14). If parking brake actuator levers are not on their stops, make sure parking brake lever return spring (4) is correctly installed, then refer to parking brake linkage repairs.
14. Tire and wheel. Remove wheel nuts securing rotor (39).
15. Lower vehicle.
16. With engine running, pump brake pedal slowly and firmly three times to seat inner and outer pads (29 and 30).
17. Check brake hydraulic system for leaks.
