FRONT BRAKE PAD INDICATOR PAD Front PAD lining thickness 11.5mm Useful PAD Thickness 10.5 mm FITMENT For fitment follow the reverse procedure of removal. ! CAUTION  The inboard pads are provided with wear indicator assembly. Since the inboard pad and shims are not inter-changeable.  In rear caliper, only inboard pad has clip-on shim. Outboard pad doesn’t have shim.  Do not polish the pads with sand or emery paper as hard particles of sand or emery paper will deposit on pad and may damage disc.  Do not contaminate pad surface with oil or grease.  Always use genuine recommended pads for replacement.  Brake pads have to be replaced in sets only. If brake pads on left side are replaced then brake pads on right side should also be replaced.  Apply brake pedal couple of times with the engine started before taking the vehicle for a road test. Before applying an emergency brake, its is advisable to apply the brake gently several times at 50 Km (30 miles) per hour to allow the brake pads to align. Heavy braking or prolonged braking should be avoided in the initial 100-150 km.(60-90 miles ) of run until the new pads are bedded. NOTE  While inserting the pads between the carrier and disc care should be taken that the friction material should be towards the disc.  Rotate the disc and make sure it is free to rotate. If it is not free to rotate, inspect and make sure that the pads are sitting square with the disc without any tilt.  Before inserting the pads ensure that caliper is returned fully to its position. (Push the caliper inside if necessary.) While pushing the caliper inside care should be taken to avoid the damage to the cylinder. Use suitable tool if required for pushing the cylinder inside.
