Rear Brake Pad Removal and Installation
Reference: Rear Brake Components

CAUTION:
^ Be careful not to damage rear brake flexible hoses.
^ Never depress brake pedal during service procedures.

NOTE:
^ Check for leakage of brake fluid when removing brake pads and repair brake caliper if leakage is found.
^ Replace all the rear brake pads at the same time even if any rear brake pad needs to be replaced.

Removal
1) Remove console panel.
2) Release parking brake.
3) Loosen adjustment nut (1).





4) Hoist vehicle and remove rear wheel.
5) Remove E-ring (1).





6) Turn lever (1) in arrow direction and remove parking brake cable (2) from lever and bracket (3).





7) Remove rear brake caliper pin bolts (1).





8) Remove rear brake caliper (1) from rear brake caliper carrier (2).

NOTE:
Hang removed rear brake caliper (1) with a wire hook (4) to prevent rear brake flexible hose from bending, twisting excessively or being pulled.

9) Remove brake pads (3) and pad springs (5) from rear brake caliper carrier (2).





Installation

Reference: Rear Brake Caliper Inspection
1) Apply brake grease in brake pad set to hatched area "A" between brake pad (2) and antinoise shim (1), and hatched face "B" between antinoise shim (1) and brake pad shim (3).








2) Install pad spring upper (1), pad spring lower (2), brake pad shims (3) and brake pads (4).





3) 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





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





5) Install rear caliper (1) to rear brake caliper carrier and tighten rear brake caliper pin bolts to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Rear brake caliper pin 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) 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 pad will be appropriate.
10) Check that brakes are not dragging and that appropriate stopping force can be obtained.
11) Install rear wheel and check if parking brake lever stroke is appropriate and if proper parking braking force can be obtained.
