Rear Brake Pad Removal and Installation

Removal

CAUTION:
Frequent inhalation of brake pad dust, regardless of material composition, could be hazardous to your health.

* Avoid breathing dust particles.
* Never use an air hose or brush to clean brake assemblies. Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner.

1. Vehicle Lift

1. Raise the vehicle on a lift, and make sure it is securely supported.

2. Brake Fluid (Remove)

1. Remove some brake fluid from the master cylinder.

3. Rear Wheel





1. Remove both rear wheels.

4. Rear Brake Pad





1. Remove the brake hose mounting bolt (A).

2. Remove the flange bolts (B) while holding the respective caliper pins (C) with a wrench.

3. Remove the caliper body (D).

NOTE: Do not twist the brake hose and the parking brake cable to prevent damage.

4. Check the hose and pin boots for damage and deterioration.





5. Remove the pad shims (A) and the brake pads (B).

5. Rear Brake Pad Retainer and Caliper Bracket Clean and Check





1. Remove the pad retainers (A).

2. Clean the caliper bracket (B) thoroughly; remove any rust, and check for grooves and cracks.

1. Rear Brake Pad Retainer and Caliper Bracket Clean and Check





1. Apply a thin coat of M-77 assembly paste (P/N 08798-9010) to the retainer mating surface of the caliper bracket (indicated by the arrows).

2. Install the pad retainers (A).

NOTE: Wipe off the excess assembly paste from the retainers. Keep the assembly paste away from the brake disc and the brake pads.

2. Rear Brake Pad





1. Apply a thin coat of M-77 assembly paste (P/N 08798-9010) to the pad side of the shims (A), the back of the brake pads (B), and the other areas indicated by the arrows.

NOTE: Wipe off the excess assembly paste from the pad shims and brake pads friction material.

2. Install the brake pads and the pad shims.

NOTE: Install the brake pad with the wear indicator (C) on the bottom inside position.





3. Rotate the caliper piston (A) clockwise into the cylinder.

4. Align the cutout (B) in the piston with the tab (C) on the inner pad by turning the piston back.

NOTE: Be careful when moving the piston back in the caliper; brake fluid might overflow from the master cylinder's reservoir. If brake fluid gets on any painted surface, wash it off immediately with water.

5. Install the caliper body (D).

6. Install the flange bolts (E) while holding respective caliper pins (F) with a wrench.

7. Install the brake hose mounting bolt (G).

8. Press the brake pedal several times to make sure the brakes work.

NOTE: Engagement may require a greater pedal stroke immediately after the brake pads have been replaced as a set. Several applications of the brake pedal will restore the normal pedal stroke.

3. Rear Wheel





1. Install both rear wheels.

NOTE: Before installing the wheel, clean the mating surfaces between the brake disc or the brake drum and the inside of the wheel.

4. Brake Fluid (Refill)

1. Add brake fluid as needed.
