FRONT DISC BRAKE PAD CHECK AND REPLACEMENT
   
NOTE: The brake pads have indicators that contact the brake disc when the brake pad thickness becomes 2 mm, and emit a squealing sound to warn the driver.
     CAUTION
    • Whenever a pad must be replaced, replace both LH and RH wheel pads as a set to prevent the vehicle from pulling to one side when braking.
    • If there is a significant difference in the thicknesses of the pads on the left and right sides, check the sliding condition of the piston and slide pins.
   
  1. Check the brake pad thickness through the caliper body check port.
    2. Standard value: 10.0 mm
    Minimum limit: 2.0 mm
     CAUTION
     Do not wipe off the special grease that is on the pin bolt or allow it to contaminate the pin bolt.
   
  1. Remove the pin bolt. Pivot the caliper assembly and hold it with wires.

      1. Pad assembly
      1. Clip
      1. Outer shim
      1. Inner shim
    1. In order to measure the brake drag force after pad installation, measure the rotary-sliding resistance of the hub with the pads removed. For the front brakes, refer to . For the rear brakes, Refer to .
    1. Install the pads and caliper assembly, and then check the brake drag force. For the front brakes, refer to . For the rear brakes, refer to .
