Rear Disc

WARNING: BRAKE FLUID CONTAINS POLYGLYCOL ETHERS AND POLYGLYCOLS. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES. WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. IF BRAKE FLUID CONTACTS EYES, FLUSH EYES WITH RUNNING WATER FOR 15 MINUTES. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. IF TAKEN INTERNALLY, DRINK WATER AND INDUCE VOMITING. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

NOTE: Brake friction materials inherently generate noise and heat in order to dissipate energy. As a result, occasional squeal is possible, which may be aggravated by severe environmental conditions such as cold, heat, rain, snow, salt, mud and other conditions.

The rear disc brakes consist of the following features:
- a 252 mm (9.90 inch) solid full cast rear disc brake rotor
- hydraulically activated, pin slider-type rear disc brake caliper assemblies with integral mechanically (cable) operated parking brake mechanisms
- a cable operated lever on the back of the rear disc brake caliper to activate the parking brake feature
- a self-adjusting parking brake mechanism in the rear disc brake caliper

Except for the parking brake mechanism, the rear disc brake caliper assembly is similar to the front disc brake caliper. The added parking brake lever on the back of the rear disc brake caliper is cable-operated by the parking brake control, located below the instrument panel, similar to rear drum brake installations. The caliper parking brake mechanism is self-adjusting.

A single brake shoe hold-down spring is mounted on the top of the rear disc brake caliper applying spring tension on the rear brake shoe and lining.
