Brake Pad: Service and Repair
Rear
Brake pads, rear wheel, swinging caliper
To check
Since the brakes are self-adjusting, it is not possible to tell from the amount of brake pedal travel whether or not the brake pads are worn. It is
therefore essential to remove the wheels and check the thickness of the pads at the intervals specified in the service programme.
The brake pads should be changed if the thickness of the friction material is less than 4 mm (0.16 inch).
To remove
1. Raise the car and remove the wheel.
2. Press back the piston with a pair of slip-joint pliers.
3. Remove the clip from the brake caliper.
4. Remove the dust caps from the guide pins and then remove the guide pins.
5. Lift the brake caliper off the brake disc and suspend it from the suspension strut.
