DISC BRAKE ASSEMBLY

TSB Revision

BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM

35A-32

(4) Use a spring scale to measure the hub torque with pads

installed in the same direction as earlier.

(5) Calculate the drag force of the disc brake [difference

between hub torque with pads installed and hub torque
with pads removed].

Standard value:
<Front

−2.4L engine> 54 N (12 pounds) or less

<Front

−3.8L engine> 64 N (14 pounds) or less

<Rear> 54 N (12 pounds) or less

6. If the brake drag force exceeds the standard value,

disassemble and clean the piston. Check for corrosion or
worn piston seal, and check the sliding condition of the lock
pin and guide pin.

REMOVAL

CAUTION

Blow air little by little to remove the piston. The piston will
pop out if a force of air is applied suddenly.
Place a piece of wood, etc. against the caliper body as shown.
Blow compressed air through the brake hose connection hole
to remove the piston boot and piston.

.

<<B>> PISTON SEAL REMOVAL
