Rear

Rear Brake Pads:

REMOVE OR DISCONNECT
1. Two thirds of brake fluid from master cylinder.
2. Raise vehicle and suitably support.
3. Mark relationship of wheel to axle flange.
4. The and wheel. Reinstall two wheel nuts to retain rotor.
5. Bolt and washer attaching cable support bracket to caliper.

NOTE: 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. Freeing cable support bracket allow's enough flexibility in cable to pivot caliper up and remove brake pads.

6. Sleeve bolt.
7. Pivot caliper up. Do not completely remove caliper.
8. Outboard and inboard brake pads from caliper support.
9. Two pad clips from caliper support.

INSTALL OR CONNECT
1. Bottom piston into caliper bore. Use a suitable spanner-type tool in piston slot to turn piston and thread it into the caliper. After bottoming piston, lift inner edge of boot next to piston and press out any trapped air. Boot must lay flat.

Positioning Piston Slots:

NOTE: Make sure slots in end of piston are positioned before pivoting caliper down over brake pads in caliper support. Use suitable spanner-type tool in piston slots to turn piston as necessary.


2. Two pad clips in caliper support.

NOTE: Whenever installing new brake pads, install new pad clips.

3. Outboard and inboard brake pads in caliper support. Wear sensor is on outboard pad. Sensor is positioned downward at the leading edge of the rotor during forward wheel rotation. 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 down over brake pads. After caliper is in position, recheck installation of pad clips. If necessary, use a small screwdriver to re-seat or center the pad slips on the support abutments. Tighten bolt to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.).

NOTE: Take care not to damage piston boot on inboard. Compress sleeve boot by hand as caliper moves into position to prevent boot damage.

5. Sleeve bolt.
6. Cable support bracket (with cable attached) with bolt washer. Tighten bolt to 44 Nm (32 ft. lbs.).
7. Tires and wheels. Align previous marks on wheel and hub and bearing.
8. Lower vehicle.
9. Fill master cylinder to proper level with clean brake fluid.
10. Apply approximately 778 N (175 lb.) force three times to brake pedal to seat pads.
11. Burnish pads and rotors

NOTE: After brake pads have been replaced and/or rotors have been refinished, it is recommended that the new braking surface be broken in, or "burnished". This can be accomplished by making 20 stops from 48 km/h (30 mph) using medium to firm pressure. Take care to avoid overheating the brakes.
