How to service and repair the brake caliper on 2002 Toyota Land Cruiser?

Question

Accepted Answer

Service procedures for the brake caliper start with screwdriver removal of cylinder boots followed by a piece of cloth between the piston and caliper before releasing the piston with compressed air while keeping fingers safe from the piston. Use a screwdriver to uninstall the brake cylinder piston seals and then proceed to remove the sliding pin, pin boot along with sliding bushing by applying tape to the screwdriver tip beforehand. It is crucial during assembly to put the sliding pin and sliding bushing in the lower part and the plain sliding pin in the upper part. Pad lining inspection requires a ruler to measure pad layer thickness as specified by the 12.0 mm standard (0.472 inch) and 1.0 mm minimum (0.039 inch); report pad change when thickness checks minimum specifications and show uneven wear. Measure the disc thickness using a micrometer when the disc is temporarily fastened by 3 hub nuts to check if it meets the 18.0 mm (0.709 inch) standard and the minimum of 16.0 mm (0.611 inch), do a disc replacement or grinding if needed due to scoring or uneven wear. Check the disc runout by using a dial indicator at 10 mm (0.39 inch) from the outside edge until maximum runout reaches 0.1 mm (0.0040 inch); proceed with checking bearing play and axle hub runout and adjust or grind the disc when necessary. The proper adjustment involves using the disc as described previously with the same torque specifications for hub nuts but the disc must rotate one-fifth of its previous position before runout measurement takes place after the correct tightening of hub nuts. The installation of the disc should occur in the position showing the minimum level of runout, provided that the runout measurement is below 0.1 mm (0.0040 inch); else, replace the disc for another measurement. Follow the final step by installing the torque plate. Then tighten its 2 bolts to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 78 ft. lbs.) torque. After that reinstall the components in reverse disassembly order by oiling specific parts with lithium soap base glycol grease.
