Rear Disc Brake
The braking system includes the brake caliper, the brake pads, and the brake disc. The brake caliper is a single piston, floating design. The brake caliper is mounted to the brake caliper anchor plate by the caliper guide bolts. The brake caliper slides, or floats, on the caliper guide pins. The brake disc is a cast, non-ventilated type rotor. When mechanical force is applied by the driver to the brake pedal, the force is converted into hydraulic pressure by the master cylinder. The hydraulic force is directed to the disc brake calipers and transferred to the brake pads. The brake pads are then forced against the brake disc friction surfaces by the brake caliper pistons slowing the vehicle.

The brake caliper is also used for the parking brakes and is activated by the rear parking brake cable. When the cable is actuated, a lever on the caliper engages a self adjusting ratchet assembly inside the brake caliper piston. This applies pressure to the brake pads, preventing the brake disc from moving.
