Not touched in this job: the hydraulic system. No line is opened, no fluid

is drained, no bleeding is required.

0. Before leaving the house

Sockets confirmed by trial fit on the actual bolts Torque wrench covering both 6 N·m and 100 N·m (usually two wrenches) Jack, two axle stands, four wheel chocks Wire to hang the caliper — never let it hang on the flexible hose One-time parts on hand (see torque table) Phone charged, this file saved offline Camera ready — photograph every spring before removing it

1. Securing the vehicle

Park nose uphill on the flattest ground available

Chock both wheels of the axle staying down, front and back of each

Loosen the wheel nuts while the wheel is still on the ground

Power off, confirm the ready lamp is out

Release the parking brake and select N — the disc must turn freely later

Jack at the designated point, support at the designated points

Never place any part of your body under a vehicle held only by a jack, however briefly.

2. Vehicle-specific cautions

Do not start the vehicle while the caliper is off — system pressure can rise.

Do not press the brake pedal while the caliper is removed.

3. Disassembly

Exploded view — filled circles mark one-time parts, arrows mark grease points

Remove the wheel

Unbolt the caliper, hang it on wire, remove the anti-rattle plates

Matchmark the disc to the hub, then remove the disc

Remove the return springs, the adjuster, then the shoes

If the disc will not come off, back the shoe adjuster off through the access hole.

4. Inspection

Item	Standard	Limit
Drum inside diameter	190 mm	191 mm max
Shoe lining thickness	2.5 mm	1.0 mm min

Return springs intact and still tensioned Adjuster turns freely, not seized No drag marks on the drum surface

5. Reassembly

Grease the marked contact points with high-temperature grease

Fit the shoes, adjuster, then both return springs

Refit the disc, aligning the matchmarks

Adjust the shoe clearance now — expand until the disc locks, then back off the specified number of notches

Refit the caliper with new plates, torque per table

Refit the wheel

Adjusting after the caliper is refitted means taking it apart again.

6. Torque values

Fastener	N·m	Note
Caliper bolt A	54	40 ft-lb
Caliper bolt B	65	48 ft-lb
Wheel nut	103	76 ft-lb
