WARNING!
Do not re-use fasteners that are worn or
deformed in normal use.
Some fasteners are designed to be used only
once, and are unreliable and may fail if used
a second time. This includes, but is not
limited to, nuts, bolts, washers, circlips and
cotter pins. Always follow recommendations
in this manual-replace these fasteners with
new parts where indicated, and any other
time it is deemed necessary by inspection.
To siphon brake fluid, always use a bleeder
bottle which is only used to siphon brake
fluid.
Brake fluid is poisonous and must NEVER be
removed by siphoning with your mouth.

which is used only for brake fluid, for
extracting the fluid.

The repair kit contains four self-locking hex bolts which must always
be installed.
