REMOVAL

WARNING:

Clean dust on brake caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazards of airborne particles or other material.

CAUTION:

• Do not depress the brake pedal while removing the brake pads because the piston may pop out.

• It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or replacement of brake caliper. For brake pad removal, hang brake caliper with a wire so as not to stretch brake hose.

• If brake fluid or grease adheres to the brake caliper or disc brake rotor, quickly wipe it off.

• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

Observe brake fluid level in sub tank. Partially drain brake fluid if necessary. Refer to Drain and Refill.

Remove the rear wheels and tires using power tool.

Loosen the lower slide pin bolt and remove the upper slide pin bolt.

Using the lower slide pin bolt as a pivot, swing the brake caliper down from the torque member. Leaving the brake hose attached, support the brake caliper with wire.

Remove the brake pads, shims, shim covers, and pad retainers from the torque member.

CAUTION:

• Do not reuse the pad retainers.

• Do not damage the piston boot.

• Do not drop the brake pads, shims, or the shim covers.

• Note the position of components during removal to aid with installation.

Compress the rear caliper piston.

INSTALLATION

Install the new pad retainers to the torque member.

CAUTION:

• Do not reuse the pad retainers.

• Do not deform the pad retainers.

• Verify that the pad retainers are secured properly to the torque member.

Apply Molykote® AS-880N grease to the mating faces between the brake pads and the pad retainers. Refer to Exploded View.

Apply Molykote® AS-880N grease to the mating faces between the brake pads, inner shim (1) and outer shim (2). Install components to the brake pad. Refer to Exploded View.

CAUTION:

When installing new brake pads, replace the shims and shim covers.

Install the brake pads to the torque member.

Using a suitable tool, press the piston into the brake caliper.

CAUTION:

Do not damage the piston boot.

Using the lower slide pin bolt as a pivot, swing the brake caliper up to the torque member.

Install the upper slide pin bolts. Tighten all slide pin bolts to specification. Refer to Exploded View.

Depress the brake pedal several times and verify that drag does not exist.

Install the front wheels and tires. Refer to Removal and Installation.

Check brake fluid level and refill as necessary. Refer to Inspection.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check the drag of rear disc brake. If any drag is found, follow the procedure described below.

Remove brake pads.

Using a suitable tool, press the piston into the brake caliper body.

CAUTION:

Do not damage the piston boots.

Install brake pads.

Depress the brake pedal several times.

Check the drag of rear disc brake again. If any drag is found, disassemble the brake caliper body.

Burnish contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing disc brake rotors or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to Brake Pedal.
