Rear Brake Disc Replacement

NOTE: Keep grease away from the brake disc/drum and the brake pads.

1. Raise and support the vehicle Service and Repair.

2. Remove the rear wheels.

3. Release the parking brake pedal fully.

4. Remove and discard the brake hose clip (A) from the brake hose (B).

NOTE: During installation, install a new brake hose clip.






5. Remove the brake hose bracket mounting bolts (A) from the knuckle.





6. Remove the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts (B), then remove the caliper assembly (C) from the knuckle. To prevent damage to the caliper assembly or brake hose, use a short piece of wire to hang the caliper assembly from the undercarriage.

NOTE: Do not twist the brake hose excessively.

7. Remove the brake disc/drum flathead screws (A).





8. Remove the brake disc/drum (B) from the hub.

NOTE:

- Remove the access plug (C), then if necessary, turn the adjuster nut (D) with a brake adjust tool or a flat-tip screwdriver until the shoes become loose.
- If the brake disc/drum is stuck to the hub, thread two 8 x 1.25 mm bolts (E) into the brake disc/drum to push it away from the hub. Turn each bolt 90 degrees at a time to prevent the brake disc/drum from binding.

9. Install the brake disc/drum in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:

- Before installing the brake disc/drum, clean the mating surface of the hub bearing unit and the inside of the brake disc/drum.
- Adjust the parking brake Adjustments.
