Front Brake Disc Run Out Check

FRONT BRAKE DISC RUN OUT CHECK
1. Place a dial gauge about 5mm (0.2 in) from the outer circumference of the brake disc, and measure the run out of the disc.





2. If the run out of the brake disc exceeds the limit specification, replace the disc, and then measure the run out again.
3. If the run out does not exceed the limit specification, install the brake disc after turning it and then check the run out of the brake disc again.
4. If the run out cannot be corrected by changing the position of the brake disc, replace the brake disc.

INSTALLATION
1. Install the brake disc (A) and tighten the screw (B).





2. Install the caliper carrier (B) and tighten the caliper mounting bolts (A).








3. Install the pad springs (D) to the caliper carrier (A).
4. Install the brake pads (B) and pad shims (C) on the pad retainer correctly. Install the pad with the wear indicator on the inside. If you are reusing the pads, always reinstall the brake pads in their original positions to prevent a momentary loss of braking efficiency.

NOTE:
Check the foreign material at the pad shims (A) and the back of the pads (B).
Contaminated brake discs or pads reduce stopping ability. Keep grease off the discs and pads.





5. Push in the piston using the SST (09581-11000) so that the caliper will fit over the pads. Make sure that the piston boot is in position to prevent damaging it when installing the caliper.





6. Install the caliper assembly (A)

NOTE: Be careful not to damage the piston pin boot.





7. Install the brake hose bolt (B) and the guide rod bolts (C) to the caliper assembly (A).





8. Refill the master cylinder reservoir to the MAX line.
9. Bleed the brake system.
10. Depress the brake pedal several times to make sure the brakes work, then test-drive.

NOTE: Engagement of the brake may require a greater pedal stroke immediately after the brake pads have been replaced as a set Several applications of the brake will restore the normal pedal stroke.

11. After installation, check for leaks at hose and line joints or connections, and retighten if necessary.
