Frequent inhalation of brake pad dust, regardless of
material composition, could be hazardous to your
health. Avoid breathing dust particles.
 Never use an air hose or brush to clean brake assemblies. Use an OSHA-approved vacuum
cleaner.
1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations (see page
1-11).
2. Remove the front wheels. 3. Check the thickness (A) of the inner pad (B) and the
outer pad (C). Do not include the thickness of the
backing plate.
4. If any part of the brake pad thickness is less than the service limit, replace the front brake pads as a
set.
5. Clean the mating surfaces between the brake disc and the inside of the wheel, then install the front
wheels.

3. Remove the front wheels.
4. Remove the flange bolt (A) while holding the caliper pin (B) with a wrench. Be careful not to
damage the pin boot, and pivot the caliper (C) up
out of the way. Check the hose and pin boots for
damage and deterioration.
5. Remove the pad shims (A) and the brake pads (B). 6. Remove the pad retainers (A).
7. Clean the caliper bracket (B) thoroughly; remove
any rust, and check for grooves and cracks. Verify
that the caliper pins (C) move in and out smoothly.
Clean and lube if needed.
8. Inspect the brake disc for runout, thickness, parallelism (see page 19-19) and check for damage
and cracks.
9. Apply a thin coat of M-77 assembly paste (P/N 08798-9010) to the retainer mating surface of the
caliper bracket (indicated by the arrows).

11. Install the brake caliper piston compressor tool (A)
on the caliper body (B).
12. Press in the piston with the brake caliper piston compressor tool so the caliper will fit over the
brake pads. Make sure the piston boot is in position
to prevent damaging it when pivoting the caliper
down.
NOTE: Be careful when pressing in the piston;
brake fluid might overflow from the master
cylinder’s reservoir. If brake fluid gets on any
painted surface, wash it off immediately with water.
13. Remove the brake caliper piston compressor tool. 14. Apply a thin coat of M-77 assembly paste (P/N
08798-9010) to the pad side of the shims (A), the
back of the brake pads (B), and the other areas
indicated by the arrows. Wipe excess assembly
paste off the pad shims and the brake pads friction
material. Keep grease and assembly paste off the
brake disc and the brake pads. Contaminated brake
disc or brake pads reduce stopping ability.
15. Install the brake pads and the pad shims correctly. Install the brake pad with the wear indicator (C) on
the upper inside. If you are reusing the brake pads,
always reinstall the brake pads in their original
positions to prevent a momentary loss of braking
efficiency.

18. Press the brake pedal several times to make sure the brakes work.
NOTE: Engagement may require a greater pedal
stroke immediately after the brake pads have been
replaced as a set. Several applications of the brake
pedal will restore the normal pedal stroke.
19. Add brake fluid as needed.
20. After installation, check for leaks at hose and line joints or connections, and retighten if necessary.

2. Remove the front wheel.
3. Remove the brake hose mounting bolt (A) from the damper.
4. Remove the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts (B), then remove the caliper assembly (C) from the

assembly or brake hose, use a short piece of wire
to hang the caliper assembly from the
undercarriage. Do not twist the brake hose
excessively. 5. Remove the brake disc flathead screws (A).
6. Remove the brake disc (B) from the front hub.
NOTE: If the brake disc is stuck to the front hub,
thread two 8 x 1.25 mm bolts (C) into the brake disc
to push it away from the front hub. Turn each bolt
90 degrees at a time to prevent the brake disc from
binding.
7. Install the brake disc in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE: Before installing the brake disc, clean the
mating surfaces between the front hub and the
inside of the brake disc.
8. Inspect the brake disc runout (see page 19-19).
