Remove pad.
NOTE: If brake pad is difficult to remove, proceed as follows:
1. Remove caliper body and fasten it provisionally to coil spring.
Remove support.
Place a support in a vise between wooden blocks.
Attach a rod of less than 12 mm (0.47 inch) dia. to the shaded area of brake pad, and strike the rod with a hammer to drive brake pad out of place.
Check pad thickness A.
CAUTION:
- Always replace the pads for both the left and right wheels at the same time. Also replace pad clips if they are twisted or worn.
- A wear indicator is provided on the inner disc brake pad. If the pad wears down to such an extent that the end of the wear indicator contacts the disc rotor, a squeaking sound is produced as the wheel rotates. If this sound is heard, replace the pad.
- Replace pad if there is oil or grease on it.
5. Apply thin coat of Molykote AS88ON (Part No. 26298AC000) to the frictional portion between pad and pad clip.
6. Apply thin coat of Molykote AS880N (Part No. 26298AC000) to the frictional portion between pad and inner shim.
7. Install pads on support.
8. Install caliper body on support.
NOTE: If it is difficult to push piston during pad replacement, loosen air bleeder to facilitate work.
