Rear Brake Pads (With EPB)

Inspection

Rear brake disc thickness inspection
  1. Inspect the brake pads for wear and discoloration.
  2. Inspect the brake disc for damage and cracks.
  3. Remove all rust and contamination from the surface and measure the disc thickness at at least 8 points at equal distances (5 mm) from the outer edge of the brake disc. Rear brake disc thickness Standard: 10 mm (0.39 in.) Maximum service limit: 8.4 mm (0.33 in.) Variation: less than 0.01 mm (0.00039 in.)
  4. If wear exceeds the limit, replace the discs and pads as a set on both the left and right sides of the vehicle.
  5. Check the pad wear. Measure the pad thickness and replace the pad if it is less than the specified value. Pad thickness Standard: 10 mm (0.393 in.) Maximum operating limit: 2.0 mm (0.0787 in.)
  6. Make sure grease is applied to the sliding contact points, as well as to the abutment and metal backing, and check for damage.
  7. Position a dial indicator approximately 5 mm (0.2 in.) from the outer edge of the brake disc and measure the disc runout.

    Brake disc runout Limit: 0.05 mm (0.00197 in.) or less (new)

  8. If brake disc runout exceeds the limit, replace the disc, then measure the runout again.
  9. If runout exceeds the specification, install the brake disc rotated 180°, then inspect the brake disc runout again.
  10. If runout cannot be corrected by changing the brake disc position, replace the brake disc.

Installation

  1. Installation is the reverse of removal.
  2. Use SST (09581-11000, 09580-0U000) when installing the brake caliper assembly. [Without EPB]
    [With EPB]
  3. After installation, bleed the brake system. (Refer to Brake System Bleeding)
