Fig. 5 Measuring Hub And Brake Drag Torque:

1. Raise and support vehicle then remove wheel.
2. Remove guide pin, Fig. 3 and 4.
3. Lift caliper assembly and support to frame suing suitable wire. Guide pin is coated with special grease. Be careful not to remove grease and ensure no dirt adheres to pin.
4. On models with 1.5L/4-92 engine, remove the following:
a. Inner shim and anti-squeak shim.
b. Pad assembly.
c. Outer shim and anti-squeak shim.
d. Pad retainer.
5. On models with 1.6L/4-98 engine, remove the following:
a. Outer shim.
b. Outer pad assembly.
c. Inner pad and wear indicator assembly.
d. Clip.
6. On all models, measure hub torque with pad removed to measure brake drag after pad installation, Fig. 5.
7. Securely attach pad clip to caliper support.
8. Press piston into cylinder. Ensure piston boot does not become caught during installation.
9. Lower caliper body and install lower guide pin, tightening to specification.
10. Check brake drag as follows:
a. Start engine and hold brake pedal down for five seconds.
b. Stop engine.
c. Turn brake disc forward 10 times.
d. Check brake drag. If the difference between brake drag and hub torque, measured previously, exceeds 1.4 ft. lbs. on hatchback models, or 3 ft. lbs. on sedan models, disassemble piston and clean. Check piston and caliper for corrosion or worn parts.
