Hi,
Front brake pads and rotors really aren't too hard to do. The nice thing about doing it yourself is you can get lifetime parts. That way, you won't have to pay for brakes again (if you do them). Also, you can expect to get approximately 25,000 miles from front brake pads. However, that is based on driving habits and terrain.
FRONT DISC BRAKE
1. Remove the lower bolt and lift the caliper assembly up and secure it with a wire or some other retaining method.
2. Remove the pads.
CAUTION: Do not depress the brake pedal while disassembling the pads.
INSPECTION
1. Check the pads for wear or oil contamination and replace, if necessary.
CAUTION:
- The peas for the right and left wheels should be replaced at the same time. Never "Drop" or intermix brake pad sets.
- All four pads must be replaced as a complete set.
- When replacing the brake pad, check for deformation. When replacing the guide spring, use a new one or the used one after cleaning away foreign material.
2. Check the pad for damage or deformation.
Brake pad thickness:
Standard value: 9 mm (0.354 inch)
Service limited value: 2 mm (0.0787 inch)
INSTALLATION
1. Install the pad clips.
2. Install the pads onto each pad clip.
NOTE: Position the pad with its pad wear indicator upward on the piston side.
3. Insert the piston in the cylinder using the Special Tool (09581-11000)
4. Install the new pads. The shims are attached to each pad as illustrated.
CAUTION: Be careful so that the disc or pad isn't contaminated by grease.
5. Install the bolt and tighten to the specified value.
Tightening torque
Guide rod bolt: 22 - 32 Nm (220 - 320 kgf-cm, 16 - 24 ft. Lbs.)
To replace the rotor, do the following.
Once the caliper is removed, unbolt the caliper mount. There will be two bolts holding it to the steering knuckle on the rear. Once the mount is removed, the rotor can be removed.
Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
