Repair Procedures

Replacement

Be careful not to damage parts located under the vehicle (floor under cover, fuel filter, fuel tank, and canister) when lifting the vehicle with a lift. (Refer to General Information - Jack Lifting Points and Support Points)

1. 1
   Loosen the wheel nuts slightly. Raise the vehicle and make sure it is securely supported.
2. 2
   Remove the front wheel and tire (A) from the front hub.

   Be careful not to damage the hub bolts when removing the front wheel and tire (A).

   

3. 3
   Lift the caliper body (A) by loosening the guide rod bolt.

   

4. 4
   Remove the brake pad (A).

   

5. 5
   Replace the pad retainer (A) with a new one.

   

6. 6
   Replace the brake pad (A) with a new one.

   

   When installing, use a new return spring (A), pad retainer (B), and inner shim (C).

7. 7
   Use SST (09581-11000) when installing the brake caliper assembly.

   

8. 8
   Install the caliper body (A), then tighten the guide rod bolt.

   Tightening Torque: 37.3–41 N·m

   

9. 9
   Install the front wheel and tire (A).

   Tightening torque: 107.8–127 N·m

   

10. 10
    Before removing the rear caliper, perform the "Brake Pad Replacement Mode" using GDS.

    

    

11. 11
    Select C2 (Release) on the screen below.

    

12. 12
    Loosen the wheel nuts slightly. Raise the vehicle and make sure it is securely supported.
13. 13
    Remove the rear wheel and tire (A) from the rear hub.

    Be careful not to damage the hub bolts when removing the rear wheel and tire (A).

    

14. 14
    Disconnect the EPB actuator connector (A).

    

15. 15
    Remove the caliper body (A) after loosening the guide rod bolt.

    

16. 16

20. 20
    Install the pad return spring (A).

    

    Pad return springs must be replaced with new ones every time the pads are replaced. Technicians must be careful not to deform the pad return springs. Deformed pad return springs may cause brake drag and increased fuel consumption.

21. 21
    Turn the caliper piston and press it in the direction of the arrow.

    

22. 22
    Install the caliper body (A), then tighten the guide rod bolt.

    Tightening Torque: 37.3–41 N·m

    

23. 23
    Install the rear wheel and tire (A).

    Tightening torque: 107.9–128 N·m

    Be careful not to damage the hub bolts when removing the rear wheel and tire (A).

    

24. 24
    After replacing the brake pads (EPB applied), perform the "Brake Pad Replacement Mode" using GDS.

    

    

25. 25

Inspection

1. 1
   Check pad wear. Measure the pad thickness and replace if less than the specified value. Front brake pad thickness - Standard: 10.5 mm (0.41 in.) - Service limit: 2.0 mm (0.07 in.)

   

2. 2
   Make sure grease is applied to the sliding contact points and pad. Check the pad and metal backing plate for damage.
3. 3
   Check pad wear. Measure the pad thickness and replace if less than the specified value. Rear brake pad thickness - Standard: 10 mm (0.39 in.) - Service limit: 2.0 mm (0.07 in.)
4. 4
   Check the pad and metal backing for damage and grease contamination.
