Title: BRAKE (REAR): REAR BRAKE (w/o Electric Parking Brake System): INSPECTION; 2018 - 2024 MY Camry [03/2017 -        ]

INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT BRAKE CYLINDER AND PISTON

(a) Check the rear disc brake cylinder bore and rear disc brake piston for rust and scoring. If necessary, replace the rear disc brake cylinder and rear disc brake piston.

2. INSPECT PAD LINING THICKNESS

(a) Using a ruler, measure the rear disc brake pad lining thickness.

Standard Thickness:

10.2 mm (0.402 in.)

Minimum Thickness:

1.0 mm (0.0394 in.)

HINT:

  • If a rear disc brake pad lining thickness is less than the minimum thickness, replace the rear disc brake pads.
  • Be sure to check rear disc thickness when replacing the rear disc brake pads with new ones.

3. INSPECT REAR DISC BRAKE PAD SUPPORT PLATE

NOTICE:

  • If the rear disc brake pad support plate is securely installed, do not remove the rear disc brake pad support plate from the rear disc brake cylinder mounting as it can be reused.
  • As the rear disc brake pad support plate is a non-reusable part, if the rear disc brake pad support plate is removed from the rear disc brake cylinder mounting, it must be replaced with a new one.
  • Be sure to perform an inspection after installing the rear disc brake pad support plate to the rear disc brake cylinder mounting.

(a) Make sure that the rear disc brake pad support plates have sufficient rebound, no deformation, cracks or wear, and that all rust and dirt is cleaned off. If necessary, replace the rear disc brake pad support plates with new ones.

4. INSPECT DISC THICKNESS

(a) Using a micrometer, measure the rear disc thickness.

Standard Thickness:

10.0 mm (0.394 in.)

Minimum Thickness:

8.5 mm (0.335 in.)

HINT:

If the rear disc thickness is less than the minimum thickness, replace the rear disc.

5. INSPECT DISC RUNOUT

(a) Inspect the rear axle hub bearing looseness and rear axle hub runout.

(b) Temporarily install the rear disc with the 5 hub nuts.

Torque:

103 N·m {1050 kgf·cm, 76 ft·lbf}

(c) Using a dial indicator with magnetic base, measure the disc runout 10 mm (0.394 in.) from the outer edge of the rear disc.

Maximum Disc Runout:

0.15 mm (0.00591 in.)

NOTICE:

Keep the magnet of the dial indicator away from the rear axle hub and bearing assembly.

HINT:

If the runout exceeds the maximum value, change the installation position of the rear disc to minimize the runout. If the runout exceeds the maximum even when the installation position is changed, grind the rear disc. If the rear disc thickness is less than the minimum, replace the rear disc.
