5. Clean the piston; then use the special tool to thread the piston into the cylinder (caliper).
6. Be careful that the piston boot does not catch and tear as the caliper assembly and guide pin locking bolts are installed.
7. Check brake drag torque as follows.
1. Start engine and hold brake pedal down for 5 seconds. [Pedal depression force: approx. 196 N (44 lbs.)]
2. Stop engine.
3. Turn brake disc forward 10 times.
4. Check brake hub torque (B) with spring scale.
5. Calculate the drag torque of the disc brake [difference between hub torque (B) and hub torque (A)].
Standard value: 69 N (15.4 lbs.)4 Nm (35 inch lbs.) or less
8. If the difference between brake drag torque and hub torque exceeds the standard value, disassemble piston and clean piston. Check for corrosion
or worn piston seal, and check the sliding condition of the lock pin and guide pin.
