Repair Procedure

Repair Procedure

1. Disassemble the front disc brake cylinder mountings from the front brake calipers.

2. Remove the brake pads and the pad support plates.





3. Clean the front disc brake cylinder mountings at the pad support plate seats thoroughly to remove debris, rust, or corrosion. (See Figure 1.)

4. Clean the pad support plates.*1

5. Apply disc brake grease to the front disc brake cylinder mountings at the pad support plate seats, as shown in Figure 1.

6. Reassemble the pad support plates to the front disc brake cylinder mountings.





7. Apply disc brake grease to the ears of the new replacement brake pads. (See Figure 2.)

*1 The pad support plates can be re-used provided that they have sufficient rebound, no deformation, cracks or wear, and have had all rust, dirt and debris cleaned off.

8. Install the brake pads into the disc brake cylinder mountings.





9. Apply disc brake grease to the outside of the brake pad ears and support plates, as shown in Figure 3.

NOTE:
To avoid the possibility of grease adhering to the disc rotor, do NOT apply grease to the inside of pad ears and support plates.

10. Reassemble the front disc brake cylinder mountings to the front brake calipers.

11. Surface the disc rotors with the "On-Car" Brake Lathe to within serviceable limits.

12. If the disc rotors are unserviceable or below minimum thickness, replace the rotors.

13. Check any new disc rotors for runout.

14. If the disc rotor runout is over 0.03 mm (0.0012 in.), perform a phase matching procedure.

15. Road test.
