Rear Brake Rotor

Rear Brake Rotor

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Resetting & Extracting Tool (T10165)

Removal

• Before proceeding, refer to => [ Safety Precautions ] Service Precautions.

- Raise and support vehicle.






- Remove wheel mounting nuts (3), then tire and wheel assembly (1).






- Remove screw (3) securing parking brake cable routing bracket to axle.

- Remove two bolts (2) securing disc brake caliper and adapter bracket (1) to axle.

- Remove disc brake caliper and adapter bracket (1) from axle and rotor (4) as an assembly. Hang assembly out of way using wire. Do not overextend the brake hose.






- Remove any retaining clips, then slide brake rotor (2) off hub and bearing (1).

Installation

• Inspect disc brake pads before installation. Replace as necessary.








- Clean rotor mounting face of hub and bearing (1) to remove any dirt or corrosion.

- Install brake rotor (2) over hub and bearing (1).


Anytime the brake rotor or brake pads are being replaced, the rear caliper piston must be seated (bottomed) to compensate for the new brake rotor or lining. Because the parking brake self-adjuster mechanism is attached to the piston, a special seating method is required. The only acceptable method is by rotating the piston back into the bore using (T10165) as described below. Any other seating method will damage the self-adjuster mechanism.

If necessary, seat (bottom) the caliper piston in the bore as follows:

- Insert (T10165) into caliper.

- Insert lugs on (T10165) into notches in face of caliper piston.


Do not over tighten the screw-drive. Damage to the piston can occur.

- Thread the (T10165) until it is against the caliper piston.

- Turn (T10165), rotating the piston in a clockwise direction until fully seated (bottomed) in the bore.






- Install disc brake caliper and adapter bracket (1) over axle and rotor as an assembly.

- Install two bolts (2) securing disc brake caliper and adapter bracket (1) to axle. Tighten mounting bolts to 100 Nm (74 ft. lbs.).

- Position parking brake cable routing bracket to axle and install screw securing it in place. Tighten screw to 6 Nm (55 in. lbs.).






- Install tire and wheel assembly (1). Install and tighten wheel mounting nuts (3) to 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs).

- Lower vehicle.

- Pump brake pedal several times to ensure vehicle has a firm brake pedal before moving vehicle.

- Adjust brake fluid level as necessary.

- Road test vehicle and make several stops to wear off any foreign material on brakes and to seat brake pads.
