REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS



<<A>> FRONT BRAKE DISC REMOVAL



If the front brake disc is seized, install a M8 x 1.25 bolts as shown, and remove the disc by tightening the bolts evenly and gradually.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS



>>A<< BRAKE HOSE INSTALLATION


1.Install the brake hose end on the bracket and another end on the front brake assembly.

2.Twist the brake hose towards the lesser torsion between the brake hose and bracket as shown and secure it to the bracket.

>>B<< FRONT BRAKE ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION



1.In order to measure the brake drag torque, measure the hub torque with the pads removed by the following procedure.
(1) Use a spring balance to measure the hub torque in the forward direction.
(2) Record hub torque with pads removed.
2.
caution Do not let any oil, grease or other contamination get onto the friction surfaces of the pads and brake discs.
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 disc brake piston expander (MB990520).
4.Install the pad clips and the pads to the caliper support and tighten the pin bolt to the specified torque.
Tightening torque : 38 ± 4 N·m

>>C<< BRAKE DRAG FORCE CHECK



1.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)
(2) Stop the engine.
(3) Turn the brake disc forward 10 times.
(4) Use a spring balance 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: 68 N or less
2.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.
