Front Brake Pad Inspection and Replacement
Frequent inhalation of brake pad dust, regardless of material composition, could be hazardous to your health.
Avoid breathing dust particles.
Never use an air hose or brush to clean brake assemblies. Use an appropriate vacuum cleaner.
Inspection - 1-piston caliper type
Raise the front of the vehicle, and
support it with safety stands in the proper locations.
Remove the front wheels.
Check the thickness (A) of the inner pad (B) and the outer pad (C). Do not include the thickness of the backing plate.
Brake pad thickness:
Standard:
10.5−11.0 mm (0.41−0.43 in.)
