1. If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.

Scheme 7

1. Check transaxle surrounding area (oil seal and plug etc.) for fluid leakage.
2. If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts and adjust CVT fluid level. Refer to " «CVT FLUID: ADJUSTMENT»(ref-675584-S20825406382014120500000) ".

INSPECTION

Check brake pad wear thickness from an inspection hole on cylinder body. Check using a scale if necessary.

Wear thickness: Refer to " FRONT DISC BRAKE ".

Scheme 8

Appearance

Check surface of disc brake rotor for uneven wear, cracks, and serious damage. Replace it if necessary. Refer to " FRONT DISC BRAKE ".

Runout

Scheme 9

1. Secure the disc brake rotor to the wheel hub with wheel nuts (2 points at least).
2. Check the wheel bearing axial end play before the inspection. Refer to " «INSPECTION»(ref-675590-S13946050682014120500000) ".
3. Inspect the runout with a dial indicator to measure at 10 mm (0.39 in) inside the disc edge. Runout: Refer to " «FRONT DISC BRAKE»(ref-675601-S28975622342014120500000) ".
4. Find the installation position that has a minimum runout by shifting the disc brake rotor-to-wheel hub installation position by one hole at a time if the runout exceeds the limit value.
5. Refinish or replace the disc brake rotor if the runout is outside the limit even after performing the above operation. CAUTION: If the thickness is less than wear thickness + 0.3 mm (0.012 in), replace the disc brake rotor. Refer to " «BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY: REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-675601-S36053780022014120500000) ". Wear thickness: Refer to " «FRONT DISC BRAKE»(ref-675601-S28975622342014120500000) ".

Thickness

Check the thickness of the disc brake rotor using a micrometer. Replace the disc brake rotor if the thickness is below the wear limit. Refer to " FRONT DISC BRAKE ".

Wear thickness: Refer to " FRONT DISC BRAKE ".

Thickness variation (measured at 8 positions): Refer to " FRONT DISC BRAKE ".

Scheme 10

Brake Lining

Scheme 11

1. Remove plug from back plate. Refer to " «EXPLODED VIEW»(ref-675601-S28518891912014120500000) ".
2. Check brake lining wear thickness (A) from an inspection hole on back plate. Check using a scale if necessary. Wear thickness: Refer to " «REAR DRUM BRAKE»(ref-675601-S36469558682014120500000) ".

Appearance

Check surface of brake drum for uneven wear, cracks and serious damage. Replace it if necessary. Refer to " REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".

Note. Make sure the parking brake control is fully released prior to removal of the brake drum. The rear wheel hub is part of the brake drum.

Brake Drum Inner Diameter

Check inner diameter (B) of the brake drum.

Inner diameter: Refer to " REAR DRUM BRAKE ".

Scheme 12

Scheme 13

1. Check gear housing and boots for looseness, damage and grease leakage.
2. Check connection with steering column for looseness.

Scheme 14

Scheme 15

1. Shake each wheel to check for excessive play.
2. Check wheel bearings for smooth operation.
3. Check axle and suspension nuts and bolts for looseness.
4. Check strut (shock absorber) for oil leakage or other damage.
5. Check suspension ball joint for grease leakage and ball joint dust cover for cracks or other damage.
