Front Brake Pad
- Loosen the wheel nuts slightly.
Raise the vehicle, and make sure it is securely supported.
- Remove the front wheel and tire (A) from the front hub.
Tightening torque:
107.9 - 127.5 N.m (11.0 - 13.0 kgf.m, 79.6 - 94.0 lb-ft)
- Loosen the brake hose mounting bolt and then remove the brake hose bracket.
Tightening torque:
8.8 - 13.7 N.m (0.9 - 1.4 kgf.m, 6.5 - 10.1 lb-ft)
- Put down the caliper body after loosening the guide rod bolt.
Tightening torque:
21.6 - 31.4 N.m (2.2 - 3.2 kgf.m, 15.9 - 23.1 lb-ft)
- Remove the pad return spring (A).
- Remove the brake pad.
- Install the pad return spring (A).NOTE:
- Pad return springs must be replaced with new ones whenever pads are replaced.
- Technicians should be careful not to deform pad return springs.
- When pad return springs are deformed, it may cause improper braking, more fuel consumption.
- Use a SST (09581-2T100) when installing the brake caliper assembly.NOTE:
- Connect an air hose(B) to the SST after confirming that the valve of the SST is surely closed.
- Input the SST in the caliper and press the caliper piston while opening the valve of the SST slowly counter clock wise.
- Close the valve (A) of the SST and disconnect the air hose (B); then, open the valve again to get the rest of air out and remove the SST from the caliper.
- Install the caliper body (A) then tighten the guide rod bolt (B).
Tightening torque:
