Installation
Reference: Rear Brake Caliper Inspection

CAUTION:
Do not twist rear brake flexible hose when installing rear brake caliper.

1) Install rear brake caliper carrier to rear suspension knuckle and tighten rear brake caliper carrier bolts to specified torque.

Tightening torque
Rear brake caliper carrier bolt (a): 60 Nm (6.1 kg-m, 44.5 lbf-ft)





2) Turn piston (1) in arrow direction by quarter to half turn using special tool to screw piston into caliper cylinder.
Special Tool
(A): 09945-16060





3) Install rear brake caliper while aligning slot of piston (2) with protrusion at back of brake pad (1).





4) Install caliper (1) to rear brake caliper carrier and tighten rear brake caliper pin bolt to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Rear brake caliper pin bolt (a): 23 Nm (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 lbf-ft)





5) Install rear brake flexible hose (1) to rear brake caliper with new flexible hose gasket (2) and tighten flexible hose joint bolt to specified torque.

Tightening torque
Flexible hose joint bolt (a): 23 Nm (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 lbf-ft)





6) Pass parking brake cable through bracket.
7) Align positions of parking brake cable (2) and bracket (3). Turn lever (1) in arrow direction and install cable (2) to lever (1).








8) Install E-ring (1) and fix parking brake cable (2).





9) Fill reservoir with brake fluid and bleed air from brake system.
10) Make sure there is no leakage of brake fluid.
11) Depress brake pedal three times or more with engine running to activate pad clearance adjustment mechanism so that clearance between rear brake disc and brake pads will be appropriate.
12) Check that brakes are not dragging and that appropriate stopping force can be obtained.
13) Install rear wheel and check if parking brake lever stroke is appropriate and if proper parking braking force can be obtained.
