Rear
Rear Brake Pads, Replacement (Multilink)
1. Jack up and support rear of car. Remove wheels Mark wheel positions if locating studs are not fitted.
2. Remove lower guide pin retaining bolt. Hold guide pin with 15 mm spanner.
3. Raise piston housing and tie back with steel wire
4. Remove brake pads
NOTE: Do not operate brake pedal while pads are removed. Clean pad mating surfaces in caliper.
5. Inspect piston dust seal. Caliper must be reconditioned if dust has entered cylinder due to defective dust seal.
6. Press back brake piston. Press back piston slowly using adjustable pliers, taking care to avoid damage to dust seals. Sluggish movement of the
piston, as indicated by failure of the piston to return to its original position when pressed inward, may be due to oxidation. Caliper must be
reconditioned if this is the case.
NOTE: Level in brake fluid reservoir may rise when piston is pressed inward, causing fluid spillage.
7. Inspect guide pin rubber gaiters. Replace gaiters if in poor condition.
8. Inspect brake disc friction surface and measure disc thickness. Replace disc if component shows signs of severe wear, distortion, variation in
thickness or other defects.
9. Install new pads and lower piston housing Tighten lower guide pin retaining bolt to 34 Nm (25 ft. lbs.). Use new bolt.
10. Check level in brake fluid reservoir. Operate brake pedal repeatedly
11. Refit wheels as per markings. Finger-tighten nuts, then torque diagonally to 85 Nm (63 ft. lbs.).
