1. Visually check the thickness of brake pad from the inspection hole of the caliper body. Standard value: 10.0 mm (0.39 inch) Minimum limit: 2.0 mm (0.08 inch)
2. When the thickness is lower than the limit value, replace both brake pads (right and left) as a set.
3. Remove the parts indicated in the figure, swivel the caliper assembly upward and retain it with a wire or similar tool.
4. Remove the following parts from the caliper assembly. Shim Pad assembly < front> Pad & clip assembly < rear> Pad & wear indicator assembly Clip
5. In order to measure the brake drag force after pad installation, measure the hub sliding torque with no pad attached (Refer to «FRONT DISC BRAKE ASSEMBLY»(ref-291270-S21583465722008072500000) ).
6. Install the pad and caliper assembly, and check the brake drag force (Refer to «FRONT DISC BRAKE ASSEMBLY»(ref-291270-S21583465722008072500000) ).
