How to service and repair the brake caliper on 2000 Toyota Celica?

Question

Accepted Answer

You can begin service and repair of brake calipers on both 1ZZ-FE and 2ZZ-GE engines through the removal of the set ring and cylinder boot using a screwdriver. First put a cloth between the piston and caliper after which compressed air should be used to remove the piston with fingers kept away from dangerous areas. Start by removing the piston seal using a screwdriver and after that remove both sliding pins which will be found on the torque plate. The correct method for both engines requires you to remove dust boots from 1ZZ-FE but you need to tap out 2ZZ-GE dust boots with a screwdriver combined with a hammer. Apply a 19 mm socket wrench to install new dust boots on the torque plate while making sure the metal plate lies in a tight position. Measure pad lining thickness with a ruler to check if the pads require replacement due to minimum 1.0 mm thickness or severe wear or if the lining is under standard thickness which amounts to 11.0 mm for the 1ZZ-FE engine and 11.5 mm for the 2ZZ-GE engine. Use a micrometer to examine disc thickness since the standard value is 25.0 mm but the minimum stands at 23.0 mm. Obtain new parts or conduct disc grinding if the measurement reaches or drops below the minimum threshold or reveals uneven damage. The disc runout must be checked using a dial indicator 10 mm from the edge and should not exceed 0.05 mm maximum; bearing play and axle hub runout must be inspected while needing disc adjustment or grinding for correction. After removing the knuckle torque plate along with two bolts and the disc and hub nuts, adjust the disc placement by rotating it by 1/5 of its initial position before tightening hub nuts to 103 Nm. Measure the runout again while tracking the minimum reading and the disc position before moving to check the remaining knuckle hubs. Installation of the disc will occur at its position showing the minimum runout value below 0.05 mm but you should replace the disc when the runout exceeds this mark. The torque plate installation should be followed by tightening the mounting bolts to 107 Nm value while lubricating indicated components with lithium soap base glycol grease.
