Brake System Rubber Parts and Brake Booster
Brake Boostet
Check brake operation by applying the brakes.
lf the brakes do not work properly, check the brake
booster, Replace the brake booster as an assembly
if it does not work properly or if there are signs of
leakage.
Piston Cup and Pressure Cup Inspeqtion
. Check brake operation by applying the brakes.
Visually check for damage or signs of fluid leak-
age.
Replace the master cylinder as an assembly if
the pedal does not work properly or if there is
damage or signs of fluid leakage.
. Check for a difference in brake pedal stroke
between quick and slow brake applications.
Replace the master cylinder if there is a differ-
ence in oedal stroke.
Brake Hoses
Visually check for damage or signs of fluid leakage.
Replace the brake hose with a new one if it is dam-
aged or leaking.
Caliper Piston Seal and Piston Boots
Check brake ope.ation by applying the brakes.
Visually check for damage or signs of fluid leakage.
lf the pedal does not operate properly, the brakes
drag. or there is damage or signs of fluid leakage,
disassemble and inspect the brake caliper. Replace
the boots and seals with new ones whenever the
brake caliDer is disassembled.
Wheol Cylindor Piston Cup and Dust Cover
Check brake operation by applying the brakes.
Visually check for damage or signs of fluid leakage.
lf the pedal does not operate properly, the brakes
drag, or there is damage or signs of fluid leakage,
disassemble and inspect the wheel cylinder. lf nec-
essary, replace the wheel cylinder as an assembly.

Front Brake Pads
Inspection and Replacement
NOTE: There are two types of front brake calipers:
The caliper types can be identified by the "5410" or"2056" stamped on the caliper body as shown below.
Check the type of the brake caliper before servicing.
5i110 Type:
NOTE: For 2056 type disassembly procedures. see page
19-'10.
Never use an air hose or dry brush lo clean brake
assgmblios.
Use an OSHA approved vacuum cleaner to avoid
breathing brake dust.
Loosen the front wheel nuts slightly, then raise the
vehicle, and support it on safety stands. Remove
the front wheels.
Remove the brake hose bracket from the knuckle.
Remove the caliper bolt, and pivot the caliper up
out of the wav.

4. Remove the pad shim. pad retainers, and pads.
NOTE: When the caliper is equipped with an outer
pad shim, replace the shim together with the pads
5. Using vernier calipers, measure the thickness of
each brake pad lining. The measurement does not
include the pad backing plate thickness.
Brake Pad Thickno$:
Standard: 9.5 - 10.5 mm 10.37 - 0.41 in)
SerYico Limit 1.6 mm {0.06 in}
lf the brake pad thickness is less than the service
limit, replace the front Dads as a set.

in the following illustration:
NOTE: Use the pad grease included in the pad set
or Molykote Nl77 grease, and apply a thin coat of
grease evenly to the designated points.

CAUTION: Be caretul not damage the pin boot
when pivoting the caliper dowr.
lnstall the brake hose bracket on the knuckle
NOTE: Inspect the brake hose for interference or
twisting.
Depress the brake pedal several times to make sure
the brakes work. then test-drive.
NOTE: Engagement of the brake may require a
greater pedal stroke immediately after the brake
pads have been replaced as a set. Several applica-
tions of the brake pedal will restore the normal
Dedal stroke.
After installation. check for leaks at hose and line
joints or connections, and retighten if necessary.

o Never use an air hose or dry brush to clean brako assemblies.. Use an OSHA approved vacuum cleanerto avoid breathing brake dust.. Contaminated brake discs or pads reduce stopping abilhy.. when reusing the pads, always reinstall the brake pads in their original positions to pr€vent loss of braking €fficiency.
CAUTION:
. Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if brake fluid do€s contaci the psint, wash it oft imme"diately with water.
. Clean all parts in brake fluid and air dry; blow out all passag€s whh comp.€ssed air.. Betore reassembling, check that all parts are free ol dust and othor toreign particlos.
. Replace parts wilh new ones whenever specified to do so.. Make sure no dirt or other toreign matt€r is allowed to contaminate the brake fluid.. Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non.Honda brake tluid can cause corrosion and decresse thelife of th€ system.
