Rear Brake Caliper Hardware Replacement
Rear Brake Caliper Hardware Replacement (Except All Wheel Drive and GT)
Removal Procedure
1. Remove the rear disc brake pads and the insulators. Refer to Rear Disc Brake Pads Replacement (All Wheel Drive and GT) (Rear Disc Brake Pads Replacement)Rear Disc Brake Pads Replacement (Except All Wheel Drive and GT) (Rear Disc Brake Pads Replacement).
2. Place match marks on the brake pad retainers (4, 5) in order to identify the correct position and orientation.
3. Remove the brake pad retainers.
4. Remove the 2 slide pins (2, 9).
5. Remove the 2 slide pin boots (3, 8).
Discard the boots.
Inspection Procedure
Note: DO NOT use abrasives in order to clean brake components.
1. Clean the insulators (1, 2, 5, 6) in denatured alcohol or an equivalent brake parts cleaner.
2. Clean the brake pad retainers (4, 5) in denatured alcohol or an equivalent brake parts cleaner.
3. Inspect the components for the following conditions:
* Sufficient rebound
* No deformation
* No cracks
* No wear
* No rust
* No dirt
If the components meet the above conditions, re-use the components.
4. Clean the following components in denatured alcohol or an equivalent brake parts cleaner.
* The bolts (1, 10)
* The slide pins (2, 9)
* The caliper housing (11)
5. Use unlubricated, compressed air in order to dry the components
6. Inspect the slide pin bores of the caliper for corrosion and wear. Replace the caliper if the slide pin bores are damaged. Refer to Rear Brake Caliper Replacement (All Wheel Drive and GT) (Rear Brake Caliper Replacement)Rear Brake Caliper Replacement (Except All Wheel Drive and GT) (Rear Brake Caliper Replacement).
Installation Procedure
1. If the caliper piston is not compressed into the caliper bore, use a commercially available caliper piston tool (1) in order to turn the piston in as far as possible.
2. Turn the piston in order to align the piston groove 90 degrees (a) from a line between the caliper slide pin bores.
Align the piston groove with the protrusion on the brake pad.
3. Ensure the cylinder boot (1) is installed in the groove of the piston. If necessary, refer to Rear Brake Caliper Overhaul (All Wheel Drive and GT) (Rear Brake Caliper Overhaul)Rear Brake Caliper Overhaul (Except All Wheel Drive and GT) (Rear Brake Caliper Overhaul).
4. Lubricate the 2 NEW slide pin boots (1, 2) with lithium soap base glycol grease or Silicone Brake Lubricant, or equivalent. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers (Fluid Type Specifications).
5. Install the slide pin boots to the caliper bracket.
6. Lubricate the 2 slide pins (1, 2) with lithium soap base glycol grease or Silicone Brake Lubricant, or equivalent. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers (Fluid Type Specifications).
7. Install the slide pins to the caliper bracket.
8. Align the match marks and install the 2 brake pad retainers (1, 2) to the caliper bracket in the correct position and direction.
9. Apply disc brake grease to the pad side of the 2 inner insulators (2, 5).
10. Ensure the disc brake grease covers the area where the inner insulators contact the pads.
11. Install the 2 inner insulators to the 2 brake pads (3, 4).
12. Install the 2 outer insulators (1, 6) to the 2 inner insulators.
13. Install the pads and the insulators to the vehicle. Refer to Rear Disc Brake Pads Replacement (All Wheel Drive and GT) (Rear Disc Brake Pads Replacement)Rear Disc Brake Pads Replacement (Except All Wheel Drive and GT) (Rear Disc Brake Pads Replacement).
