Disc Brakes

1. Raise vehicle on hoist. Refer to Section 00-02.

2. Remove the wheel and tire from the hub and rotor.

3. Inspect brake shoes and lining for wear. If the lining is worn to within 3mm (1/8 inch) of the shoe, replace all four shoe and lining assemblies (complete axle set). The rubber caliper insulators and the plastic sleeves (if equipped) must be replaced when linings are replaced.

4. Visually check the caliper. If the caliper housing is leaking, it should be replaced. If a seal is leaking, the caliper must be disassembled and new seals installed. If a piston is seized in the bore, a new caliper housing is required.

5. Lower vehicle.

   Refer to Section 06-03 for disc brake rotor service procedure.
