FRONT BRAKE INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT FRONT DISC BRAKE ANTI-RATTLE SPRING


    1. Make sure that the front disc brake anti-rattle spring has sufficient rebound, no deformation, cracks or wear, and that all rust and dirt is cleaned off. If necessary, replace the front disc brake anti-rattle spring.

  2. INSPECT PAD LINING THICKNESS


    1. A01QANSC01
      *a Ruler

      Using a ruler, measure the front disc brake pad lining thickness.

      Standard Thickness
      9.75 mm (0.384 in.)
      Minimum Thickness
      1.0 mm (0.0394 in.)

      If a front disc brake pad lining thickness is less than the minimum thickness, replace the front disc brake pads.

      Tech Tips

      Be sure to check the front disc thickness when replacing the front disc brake pads with new ones.

  3. INSPECT DISC


    1. Check the surface of the front disc.


      1. A01QD2PN01

        If the result of inspection is either of the following, replace the front disc.


        • The length of a crack is 46 mm (1.81 in.) or more. (A)

        • A crack reaches the outer or inner edge of the front disc. (B)

  4. INSPECT DISC THICKNESS


    1. A01QAB5C01
      *a Micrometer

      Using a micrometer, measure the front disc thickness.

      Standard Thickness
      34.0 mm (1.339 in.)
      Minimum Thickness
      31.0 mm (1.220 in.)

      If the front disc thickness is less than the minimum thickness, replace the front disc.

  5. INSPECT DISC RUNOUT


    1. Inspect the front axle hub bearing looseness and front axle hub runout.

      Using SST to hold the front disc, tighten the front disc with the 5 hub nuts.

      SST
      09330-00021
      Torque:
      103 N*m  { 1050 kgf*cm, 76 ft.*lbf }
    3. A01Q97JC01
      *a Dial Indicator

      Using a dial indicator, measure the disc runout 7 mm (0.276 in.) from the outer edge of the front disc.

      Maximum Disc Runout
      0.05 mm (0.00196 in.)

      Note

      Keep the magnet of the dial indicator away from the front axle hub sub-assembly and front speed sensor.

      If the runout exceeds the maximum value, change the installation position of the front disc to minimize the runout. If the runout exceeds the maximum even when the installation position is changed, replace the front disc.

    4. Remove the 5 hub nuts and front disc.
