Inspection (Rear)

WARNING: Avoid grinding brake linings, sanding brake linings or cleaning wheel brake parts with a dry brush or with compressed air, when servicing wheel brake parts. Some models or aftermarket brake parts may contain asbestos fibers which can become airborne in dust. Breathing dust with asbestos fibers may cause serious bodily harm. Use a water-dampened cloth in order to remove any dust on brake parts. Equipment is available commercially in order to perform this washing function. These wet methods prevent fibers from becoming airborne.
  1. Remove the disc brake caliper from the caliper mounting bracket. See BRAKE CALIPER  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.

  3. Inspect the disc brake pad mounting hardware for missing mounting hardware, excessive corrosion, bent mounting tabs, looseness at the caliper mounting bracket and looseness at the disc brake pads. See Figure.
  4. If any of the conditions listed are found, the disc brake pad mounting hardware requires replacement.
  5. Ensure the disc brake pads are held firmly in place on the caliper mounting bracket, yet slide easily on the mounting hardware without binding.
