Tech Tips
Use the same procedures for the LH side and RH side.
The procedures listed below are for the LH side.
INSTALL DISC BRAKE CYLINDER ASSEMBLY LH
Install the cylinder with the 2 bolts.
CONNECT FRONT NO. 1 WHEEL CYLINDER TUBE LH
Using a union nut wrench, connect the tube to the cylinder.
Note

INSTALL FRONT ANTI-SQUEAL SHIM KIT
Apply disc brake grease to both sides of each No. 1 shim.
Install the No. 1 and No. 2 shims to each pad.
Note
When replacing worn pads, the shims must be replaced together with the pads.
Install the shims in the correct position and direction.
INSTALL FRONT DISC BRAKE PAD
Install the 2 disc brake pads to the cylinder.
Note
There should be no oil or grease on the friction surfaces of the pads and disc.
INSTALL FRONT DISC BRAKE ANTI-RATTLE SPRING (for 16 inch Front Disc Brake)
Install the 2 pins and anti-rattle spring.
Tech Tips
Install the spring together with the pin on the bottom side.
Install the 2 clips.
Note
When installing the clip, be sure to install the clip with the handle facing the center of the vehicle.
INSTALL FRONT DISC BRAKE ANTI-RATTLE SPRING (for 15 inch Front Disc Brake)
for Type A:
Install the anti-rattle spring.
Hold down the spring and insert the 2 pins.
Install the clip.
for Type B:
Install the 2 disc brake pad guide pins and pin hold clip.
Tech Tips

BLEED AIR FROM MASTER CYLINDER (w/ VSC)
Tech Tips
If the master cylinder has been disassembled or if the reservoir becomes empty, bleed air from the master cylinder.
Using a union nut wrench, disconnect the 2 brake lines from the master cylinder.
Slowly depress and hold the brake pedal.
Block the tube holes with your fingers, and then release the brake pedal.
Remove the your fingers, slowly depress and hold the brake pedal, block the tube holes with your fingers again, and then release the brake pedal. Repeat this step 3 or 4 times.
Using a union nut wrench, connect the 2 brake tubes to the brake master cylinder.
