REAR BRAKE INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT BRAKE CYLINDER AND PISTON

   
   

   1. Check the rear disc brake cylinder bore and rear disc brake piston for rust and scoring. If necessary, replace the rear disc brake cylinder assembly and rear disc brake piston.

2. INSPECT PAD LINING THICKNESS

   
   
   1. 

      *a

      Ruler

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

      Standard Thickness
      12.0 mm (0.472 in.)

      Minimum Thickness
      1.0 mm (0.0394 in.)

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

      Tech Tips

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

3. 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 cleaned off. If necessary, replace the rear disc brake pad support plates.

4. INSPECT DISC THICKNESS

   
   
   1. 

      *a	Micrometer

      Using a micrometer, measure the rear disc thickness.

      Type	Minimum Thickness	Standard Thickness
      for Solid Disc	8.5 mm (0.335 in.)	10.0 mm (0.394 in.)
      for Ventilated Disc	16.5 mm (0.650 in.)	18.0 mm (0.709 in.)

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

5. INSPECT DISC RUNOUT

   
   

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

   2. 

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

      SST

      09330-00021

      Torque:

      103 N*m  { 1050 kgf*cm, 76 ft.*lbf }

   3. 

      *a	Dial Indicator

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

      Maximum Disc Runout
      0.05 mm (0.00196 in.)

      Note

      Keep the magnet of the dial indicator away from the rear axle hub and bearing assembly and rear speed sensor.

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

   4. Remove the 5 hub nuts and rear disc.
