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 8 points at equal distances (5 mm) from the outer edge of the brake disc. Brake disc thickness Standard: 10 mm (0.394 in.) Maximum service limit: 8.4 mm (0.331 in.) Thickness variation: less than 0.01 mm (0.0004 in.)
  4. If wear exceeds the service limit, replace the discs and pads as a set, left and right of the vehicle.

Rear brake pad inspection

  1. Inspect the pad wear. Measure the pad thickness and replace the pad if it is less than the specified value. Pad thickness Standard: 10 mm (0.394 in.) Maximum operating limit: 2.0 mm (0.0787 in.)
  2. Check the pad and metal backing for damage and grease contamination.

Rear brake disc runout inspection

  1. Position the 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 (0.0020 in.) or less (new)

  2. If brake disc runout exceeds the limit, replace the disc, then measure the runout again.
  3. If runout exceeds the specified limit, reposition the brake disc by turning it 180°, then re-check the brake disc runout.
  4. If runout cannot be corrected by changing the position of the brake disc, replace the brake disc.

Installation [Without EPB]

  1. Install in the reverse order of removal.
  2. Insert the piston into the cylinder using SST (09580-0U000).
  3. After installation, bleed the brake system. (Refer to Brake System Bleeding)

Installation [With EPB]

  1. Install in the reverse order of removal.
  2. Insert the piston into the cylinder using SST (09580-0U000).
  3. After installation, bleed the brake system. (Refer to Brake System Bleeding)
