  5. Remove the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts (B), and remove the caliper assembly (C) from the knuckle. To prevent damage to the caliper assembly or brake hose, use a short piece of wire to hang the caliper assembly from the undercarriage. Do not twist the brake hose and the parking brake cable excessively.
    NOTE: Make sure the washers (D) are in position on reassembly, if they are removed (see step 6 on page REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM ).
  6. Remove the brake disc/drum flathead screws (A).

  7. Remove the brake disc/drum (B) from the hub bearing unit.
    NOTE:
    • Remove the access plug (C), then if necessary, turn the adjuster nut (D) with a flat-tip screwdriver until the shoes become loose.
    • If the brake disc/drum is stuck to the hub bearing unit, thread two 8 x 1.25 mm bolts (E) into the brake disc/drum to push it away from the hub bearing unit. Turn each bolt 90 degrees at a time to prevent the brake disc/drum from binding.
  8. Install the brake disc/drum in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
    • Adjust the parking brake (see PARKING BRAKE INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT  ).
    • Before installing the brake disc/drum, clean the mating surfaces between the hub bearing unit and the inside of the brake disc/drum.
  9. Inspect the brake disc/drum runout (see REAR BRAKE DISC INSPECTION  ).
  10. Clean the mating surfaces between the brake disc/drum and the inside of the wheel, then install the rear wheel.
