Examination
Check the thickness of the pads. If the thickness of the pads is less than the maximum, replace the inner and outer pads as a set.
- Standard pad thickness: 11 mm
- Maximum pad thickness: 1.6 mm
Without taking into account the thickness of the metal plate.

Replacement
Caution: Make sure that no oil gets on the rubbing surfaces of the pads and brake disc.
The procedure for replacing brake pads is considered using 2WD models as an example.
1. Disconnect the brake hose from the steering knuckle.
2. While holding the caliper pin with an Allen key, loosen the lower flange bolt (10mm) and rotate the caliper body upward.
3. Tie the caliper body with wire.
Caution: Do not hang the caliper body on the brake hose. Do not damage the brake hose with the bracket and other components.
4. Remove the brake pads and linings from the caliper bracket.
5. Remove the brake pad holders and clean them.
6. Clean the caliper bracket.
7. Install the brake shoe holders.
8. Apply Morikoto M77 or Daikarubu 528D grease to the areas shown by the arrows in the figure.
Attention:
- Apply grease so that the grease is not squeezed out during installation of the gaskets.
- Do not apply lubricant to the rubbing surfaces of the brake disc and brake pads.
9. Clean the caliper body and carefully press in the piston.
Make sure there is no brake fluid leaking from the reservoir on the master cylinder.
10. Return the caliper body to its original position and, holding the caliper pin with an Allen key, tighten the flange bolt.
11. Connect the brake hose to the steering knuckle.
12. Extend the piston by pressing the brake pedal several times.
Caution: Do not start driving with the pistons not extended. If the piston is retracted too far, the braking effect may be insufficient when the pedal is first pressed.
13. Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
14. After assembly, check that the brake hose is not kinked, that the brake hose does not touch other components, and that brake fluid does not leak.
