SAFARI

BRAKES

Note :

Measure the face runout of the disc (Fig. 13) & mark

the low runout point around the wheel mounting bolt,

nearest to the low run out point. This is important, as

this marked point has to be matched with

corresponding high runout point on the hub. This will

ensure minimum runout of hub and disc assembly

together & will intern minimise disc wobbling & uneven

pad wear.

Fit the bottom guide pin dust cover’s other end to

carrier. Fit new pads as explained under “Fitment of

New Pads”. Swing back the caliper to its place and fit

guide pin retaining bolt and tighten to recommended

torque 3.1 to 3.5 mkg.

Fit bleed screw and tighten to a torque of 0.55 to 0.8

mkg. Connect banjo end of the hose with caliper body

by fitting banjo bolt using new gasket. Before fully

tightening the banjo bolt, make sure that the other

end of the hose is anchored to the chassis end. In

this condition the hose should be free from twists.

Tighten the banjo bolt to a torque of 3 to 4 mkg.

Connect pipe nuts to the female end of the hose after

removing the dust cap from the bundy tube and tighten.

Caliper carrier mounting bolts to be checked for its

tightness to a torque of 6.3 to 8.3 mkg.

The other side of the caliper can be serviced in the

same way.

Bleed the brake system.

If bleeding equipment or power bleeding is used to

bleed the system, which does not necessitate

application of pedal, youmust make sure several brake

pedal applications are made to maintain minimum

clearance between pad and the disc before taking the

vehicle for road test.

HOSE REPLACEMENT (

Fig. 14)

Hoses to be replaced as per recommended service

schedule.

Use light and mirror to inspect hose condition, check

brake hoses and pipelines for leakage, crack and

damage etc. & replace if necessary.
