REAR BRAKE INSPECTION

INSPECT PAD LINING THICKNESS
1. Text in Illustration
  
  *1 Ruler
  
  Using a ruler, measure the pad lining thickness.
  
  Standard thickness of a new pad
  
  10.0 mm (0.394 in.)
  
  Minimum thickness
  
  1.0 mm (0.0394 in.)
  
  If the pad lining thickness is equal to or less than the minimum, replace the brake pads with a disc brake pad kit.
  
  Tech Tips
  
  Be sure to check the wear of the rear disc after replacing the brake pads with new ones.
INSPECT REAR DISC BRAKE PAD SUPPORT PLATE
1. Make sure that the rear disc brake pad support plates have sufficient rebound, no deformation, cracks or wear, and that all rust and dirt are removed. If necessary, replace the rear disc brake pad support plates.
INSPECT DISC THICKNESS
1. Text in Illustration
  
  *1 Micrometer
  
  Using a micrometer, measure the disc thickness.
  
  Standard Thickness of a new disc
  
  10.0 mm (0.394 in.)
  
  Minimum Thickness
  
  9.0 mm (0.354 in.)
  
  Tech Tips
  
  If the disc thickness is less than the minimum, replace the rear disc.
INSPECT DISC RUNOUT
1. Inspect the rear axle hub bearing looseness and axle hub runout (for 2WD: Click here, for AWD: Click here.
2. Using SST to hold the disc, tighten the disc with the 5 hub nuts.
  
  SST
  
  09330-00021
  
  Torque:
  
  103 N*m { 1050 kgf*cm, 76 ft.*lbf }
3. Text in Illustration
  
  *1 Dial Indicator
  
  Using a dial indicator, measure the disc runout 10 mm (0.394 in.) away from the outer edge of the rear disc.
  
  Maximum disc runout
  
  0.15 mm (0.00591 in.)
  
  If the runout exceeds the maximum, change the installation position of the disc to minimize runout. If the runout exceeds the maximum even when the installation position is changed, grind the disc. If the disc thickness is less than the minimum, replace the rear disc.
  
  Note
  
  Keep the magnetic parts of the dial indicator away from the axle hub and speed sensor.
4. Remove the 5 hub nuts and rear disc.
