Brake Pad: Service and Repair
Rear
NOTE: The brake pads have wear indicators that contact the brake disc when the brake pad thickness becomes 2 mm (0.08 inches). The wear
indicators emit a squealing sound to warn the driver to have the pads replaced and to have the brake system checked.
1. Check brake pad thickness through caliper body check port.
Standard value: 10 mm (0.39 inches)
Wear Limit: 2.0 mm (0.08 inches)
CAUTION:
-
When the limit is exceeded, the brake pads on both the left and right wheels must be replaced as a set.
-
If there is a significant difference in the thicknesses of the pads on the left and right sides, check the sliding condition of the piston, lock pin
and guide pin.
2. Remove guide pin. Lift caliper assembly, slide the assembly toward the inside of the wheel well until separated from the lock pin. Support it with
wires.
CAUTION: Do not wipe off the special grease that is on the guide pin or allow it to contaminate the guide pin.
