FRONT DISC BRAKE PAD CHECK AND REPLACEMENT

Standard value: 10 mm (0.39 inch)
Limit: 2.0 mm (0.08 inch)
CAUTION: When the limit is exceeded, the brake pads on both the left and right wheels must be replaced as a set.
CAUTION: If there is a significant difference in the thickness 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 upwards and support it with wires.
