  Q: How to service and repair the front brake rotor/Brake Rotor on Toyota MR2 Spyder?

  A:

  When servicing or repairing the front brake rotor/disc start by taking off the front wheel followed by a temporary fastening of the disc hub nuts to a torque of 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.). The flexible hose becomes detachable by first unfastening its union bolt and accompanying gasket from the caliper and then following with hose separation while tightening to 30 Nm (310 kgf-cm, 22 ft. lbs.). A protective flexible hose lock needs installation into the caliper lock hole when reinstalling while keeping a suitable container to collect any released brake fluid. Remove the caliper by holding the sliding pin while loosening each of the two installation bolts to a torque of 34 Nm (350 kgf-cm, 25 ft. lbs.) before removing it from the torque plate. Sever the pad contacts from their anti-squeal shims before taking out both pad support plates. The installation process starts with performing reverse removal steps but requires brake fluid addition to the reservoir followed by a brake system bleed then leak checks must be conducted afterward.

  Q: How to service and repair the rear brake rotor/Brake Rotor on Toyota MR2 Spyder?

  A:

  Start rear brake rotor/disc servicing and repairs by first removing the rear wheel then securing the disc with the hub nuts while torquing them to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.). You must remove the union bolt to disconnect the parking brake cable and flexible hose from the caliper while using a torque of 30 Nm (310 kgf-cm, 22 ft. lbs.) and placing the drained brake fluid in a container before inserting the flexible hose lock properly into its lock hole for reassembly. Once the installation bolt is removed by applying a torque of 20 Nm (204 kgf-cm, 15 ft. lbs.), proceed to extract both pads and their accompanying 4 anti-squeal shims before removing the 4 pad support plates.
