REAR BRAKE INSPECTION

INSPECT BRAKE CYLINDER AND PISTON

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

INSPECT PAD LINING THICKNESS

1. 

   Using a ruler, measure the pad lining thickness.

   Standard thickness of a new pad
   10.0 mm (0.393 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.

   Tip:

   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. 

   Using a micrometer, measure the disc thickness.

   Standard Thickness of a new disc
   12.0 mm (0.472 in.)

   Minimum Thickness
   10.5 mm (0.413 in.)

   Tip:

   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 (Click here).

2. Tighten the disc with the 5 hub nuts.

   103 N*m

   1050 kgf*cm

   76 ft.*lbf

3. 

   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
   0.1 mm (0.00394 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 nuts and rear disc.
