Removal And Installation

REAR DISC BRAKE

Removal and Installation of Brake Pads


WARNING:
Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of air borne particles or other materials.

CAUTION:
- While removing and installing cylinder body, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
- It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. For pad removal and installation, hang cylinder body with a wire so as not to stretch brake hose.
- Do not damage piston boot.
- If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.
- Always replace shim and shim covers as a set when replacing brake pads.
- Keep rotor free from grease and brake fluid.
- Burnish the brake pads and disc rotor mutually contacting surfaces after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Brake Burnishing.

REMOVAL

1.Remove the rear wheel and tire.
2.Remove the upper sliding pin bolt and loosen the lower sliding pin bolt to swing the cylinder body down.
3.Remove the pads, pad retainers, shims, and shim covers from the torque member.

CAUTION:
Do not deform the pad retainers when removing them from the torque member.

INSTALLATION

1.Apply Molykote AS-880N grease or equivalent to between shim covers and shims. Install inner shim, inner shim cover to inner pad. Install outer shim and outer shim cover to outer pad.





2.Apply Molykote 7439 grease (A) or equivalent to between pad retainer and pad. Install pad retainers and pads to torque member.
3.Press in piston using suitable tool, until the pads can be installed, and then install the cylinder body in the torque member.

CAUTION:
When replacing pads with new set, check the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank because brake fluid returns to the master cylinder reservoir tank when pressing in the piston.
4.Install upper sliding pin bolt and tighten the upper and lower sliding pin bolts to the specified torque.
5.Check the rear disc brakes for drag.
6.Install the rear wheel and tire. Adjustment.
7.Check brake fluid level and refill as necessary. Inspection.
