INSTALLATION
1. Apply thin coat of Molykote AS880N (Part No. 26298AC000) to the frictional portion between pad and pad clip.

CAUTION: Do not allow oil or grease to adhere to the sliding surface of pad and disc rotor.

2. Check disc rotor thickness and runout.
3. Install pad on support.

Tightening torque: 39 Nm (4.0 kgf-m, 28.9 ft. lbs.)

NOTE: If it is difficult to push piston during pad replacement, loosen air bleeder to facilitate work.

5. Depress brake pedal several times.

INSPECTION





Check pad thickness (including back metal).

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.
