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.

WARNING!

Brake fluid is poisonous and must NEVER be
removed by siphoning with your mouth.

CAUTION!

Before pushing back the piston, siphon
some of the brake fluid out of the brake fluid
reservoir. Otherwise, particularly if reservoir
has been topped off, fluid will overflow and
cause damage.
To siphon brake fluid, always use a bleeder
bottle which is only used to siphon brake
fluid.

- Screw piston inward as far as it will go by turning threaded spindle
(arrow) clockwise and knurled section counterclockwise.
