Installation Service Point





>A< Front Brake Assembly Installation.
Using the following method, measure the drag force of the disc brake after installation of the brake assembly.
1) With the brake assembly removed, use a spring scale to measure the rotary sliding resistance of the hub in the forward direction.

NOTE: Secure the disc to the hub with wheel nuts.





2) After installing the caliper support to the knuckle, expand the piston by use of the special tool, and then install the caliper body.





3) Start the engine, depress the brake pedal firmly two to three times and stop the engine.
4) Turn the brake disc ten times in the forward direction.
5) Using a spring scale, measure the rotary sliding resistance of the hub in the forward direction.
6) Obtain the drag force of the disc brake (the difference between the values measured in 5 and 1).

Standard value: 70 N (15.4 lbs.) or less

7) If the drag force of the brake exceeds the standard value, disassemble the piston and check for dirty or corroded piston sliding surface and deteriorated piston seal.

Post-installation Operation:
- Brake Fluid Supplying.
- Bleeding.
