DESCRIPTION
DISC BRAKES - REAR

Fig. 8 Rear Disc Brakes:

There are several distinctive features to the rear disc brakes on this vehicle (Fig. 8). The single piston, floating caliper rear disc brake system includes a hub and bearing assembly, adapter, rotor, caliper, and brake shoes.

This vehicle is equipped with a caliper having a 42 mm (1.65 inch) piston and uses a 15 inch solid nonvented brake rotor. The brake rotor is described as a drum-in-hat style because of its dual role as a braking disc and parking brake drum.

The parking brake system on vehicles equipped with rear disc brakes consists of a small duo-servo drum brake mounted to the caliper adapter and uses the interior of the rear disc brake rotor as a drum (hat section of drum-in-hat style brake rotor).

The outboard rear disc brake shoes (pads) are side oriented. The shoes are marked indicating which side they belong on.

OPERATION
The rear disc brakes operate similarly to front disc brakes, however, there are some features that require different service procedures.
