WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Remove the brake pad, shim and clip (Refer to BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT <EXCEPT RALLIART> <Except RALLIART> or BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT <RALLIART> <RALLIART>).
- Using a spring scale, measure the hub sliding torque in the forward direction with the brake pad, shim and clip removed.
- Install the brake pad, shim and clip (Refer to BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT <EXCEPT RALLIART> <Except RALLIART> or BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT <RALLIART> <RALLIART>).
- Start the engine, and depress the brake pedal forcibly two or three times. Then, stop the engine.
- Turn the brake disc 10 times in the forward direction.
- Using a spring scale, measure the hub sliding torque in the forward direction with the brake pad, shim and clip installed.
- Obtain the disc brake drag force (difference between measured values of item 2 and item 6).

Standard value:
68 N (15.3 pounds) or less <Front (Except RALLIART)>
85 N (19.1 pounds) or less <Front (RALLIART)>
68 N (15.3 pounds) or less <Rear>
- If the brake drag force exceeds the standard value, disassemble the brake caliper assembly to check for fouling/rust on the piston sliding section and piston seal deterioration, and confirm whether the guide pin and lock pin slide properly (Refer to DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY <15-INCH FRONT DISC BRAKE> <15-inch front disc brake>, DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY <16-INCH FRONT DISC BRAKE (EXCEPT RALLIART)> <16-inch front disc brake (Except RALLIART)>, DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY <16-INCH FRONT DISC BRAKE (RALLIART)> <16-inch front disc brake (RALLIART)>, DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY <14-INCH REAR DISC BRAKE> <14-inch rear disc brake>, DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY <16-INCH REAR DISC BRAKE (EXCEPT RALLIART)> <16-inch rear disc brake (Except RALLIART)> or DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY <RALLIART> <16-inch rear disc brake (RALLIART)>).
