>>B<< PUSH ROD PROTRUSION AMOUNT
CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT

1. Use the vacuum pump to measure dimension "A" applying a

negative pressure of 66.7 kPa (19.7 inHg) to the brake
booster.

Standard value (A): 10.28

− 10.52 mm (0.405 − 0.414

inch)

NOTE: When a negative pressure of 66.7 kPa (19.7 inHg) is
not applied to the brake booster, the push rod protrusion
amount (A) should be 8.78 - 9.02 mm (0.346

−

0.355 inch).

2. If the protrusion amount is not within the standard value

range, adjust the push rod length by turning the push rod.
Use special tool MB991568 to turn the push rod while
holding the rod spline with angle-nose pliers.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT

.

>>A<< BRAKE DRAG FORCE CHECK

1. In order to measure the brake drag force, measure the hub

torque with the pads removed by the following procedure.
Use a spring scale to measure the hub torque in the forward
direction. Record hub torque with pads removed.

CAUTION

Do not let any oil, grease or other contamination get onto
the friction surfaces of the pads and brake discs.
2. After re-installing the caliper support to the knuckle, install

the pad clips and the pads to the caliper support.

3. Clean the piston and insert into cylinder with special tool

MB990520.

4. Be careful that the piston boot does not become caught,

when lowering the caliper assembly and installing the lock
pin bolt.

5. Check the brake drag force as follows.

(1) Start the engine and hold the brake pedal down for 5

seconds. [Pedal depression force: approximately 200 N
(45 pound)]

(2) Stop the engine.
(3) Turn the brake disc forward 10 times.
