REAR BRAKE INSPECTION


  1. CHECK BRAKE CYLINDER AND PISTON


    1. Check the cylinder bore and piston for rust or scoring.

      If necessary, replace the rear disc brake caliper assembly and piston.

  2. CHECK PAD LINING THICKNESS


    1. A01GXTL

      Using a ruler, measure the pad lining thickness.

      Standard thickness
      13.5 mm (0.531 in.)
      Minimum thickness
      1.0 mm (0.0394 in.)

      If the pad lining thickness is less than the minimum, replace the pad.

  3. CHECK REAR DISC BRAKE ANTI-RATTLE SPRING


    1. Use brake cleaner to clean the rear disc brake anti-rattle spring. Check for deformation and cracks.

    2. When installing the rear disc brake anti-rattle spring to the rear disc brake caliper, check that the spring's force is applied to the hole pin and brake pad.

  4. CHECK REAR DISC THICKNESS


    1. A01H188

      Using a micrometer, measure the disc thickness.

      Standard thickness
      22.0 mm (0.866 in.)
      Minimum thickness
      20.0 mm (0.787 in.)

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

  5. CHECK DISC RUNOUT


    1. Fix the disc in place with the 5 hub nuts.

      Torque:
      140 N*m  { 1428 kgf*cm, 103 ft.*lbf }
    2. A01GX3D

      Using a dial indicator, measure the disc runout 10 mm (0.394 in.) from the outer edge of the rear disc.

      Maximum disc runout
      0.04 mm (0.00157 in.)

      If the runout exceeds the maximum value, change the installation positions of the disc and axle so that the runout will become minimal. If the runout exceeds the maximum even when the installation positions are changed, check the bearing looseness Click here and the axle hub runout Click here. If the bearing play and the axle hub runout are normal, and if the disc thickness is not within the specified range, grind the disc. If the disc thickness is less than the minimum, replace the disc.

    3. Remove the 5 hub nuts and rear disc.
