Checking and replacing the front brake pads (Mitsubishi L200 4)

The front brakes are equipped with a wear indicator that touches the brake disc and makes a squealing sound when the lining thickness reaches 1.5 mm.

Attention:

• if you are replacing the pads, replace the pads on both sides of the vehicle;
• if the thickness of the pads on the left and right differs significantly, check the piston and the clamping mechanism crackers.

1. Check the brake lining thickness through the hole in the brake caliper. Wear limit: 1.5 mm.

Caution: Do not wipe grease off the screw or contaminate it.

2. Remove the screw (arrow), rotate the bracket assembly and secure it with the cable.



3. Remove the following parts from the caliper support: lining assembly (on the right wheel)/lining assembly with wear indicator (on the left wheel) (1), lining assembly (2), outer lining (3), linings (4) and clamps (5).



4. To measure the braking force after installing the pads, measure the resistance of the hub without pads.

5. Install the pads and caliper assembly and check the braking force.
