Rear Brake Inspection

Using a ruler, measure the pad lining thickness.

Standard Thickness:

12.0 mm (0.472 in.)

Minimum Thickness:

1.0 mm (0.0394 in.)

HINT:

Be sure to check the wear on the rear disc after replacing the brake pad with a new one.

Temporarily install the disc with the 3 hub nuts.

Using a micrometer, measure the disc thickness.

Standard Thickness:

18.0 mm (0.709 in.)

Minimum Thickness:

16.0 mm (0.630 in.)

Fix the disc in place with the 5 hub nuts.

Torque:

for Aluminum Wheel:

131 N*m{1336 kgf*cm, 97 ft.*lbf}

for Steel Wheel:

209 N*m{2131 kgf*cm, 154 ft.*lbf}

Using a dial indicator, measure the disc runout at a position 10 mm (0.394 in.) from the outside edge.

Maximum Disc Runout:

0.15 mm (0.00590 in.)

Remove the 2 bolts and rear disc brake cylinder mounting from the backing plate.

Remove the hub nuts and disc. Rotate the disc 1/5 of a turn from its original position on the hub, and install the disc with the hub nuts.

Torque:

for Aluminum Wheel:

131 N*m{1336 kgf*cm, 97 ft.*lbf}

for Steel Wheel:

209 N*m{2131 kgf*cm, 154 ft.*lbf}

Measure the disc runout. Make a note of the runout and the disc position on the hub.

Repeat the 2 previous steps until the disc has been installed on the 3 remaining hub positions. If the minimum runout recorded above is less than 0.15 mm (0.00590 in.), install the disc in that position. If the minimum runout recorded above is more than 0.15 mm (0.00590 in.), replace the disc and repeat the "Check Disc Runout" procedure.
