Front Brake Caliper
Disassembly/Reassembly
. Never use an air hose or dry brush to clean brake assemblies.
. Use an OSHA approved vacuum cleaner to avoid breathing brake dust.
. Contaminated brake discs or pads reduce stopping ability.
. When reusing the pads, always reinstallthe brake pads in their original positions to prevent loss ol braking efficiency.
CAUTION:
. Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off imme-
diatelY with water.
NOTEI
. To prevent spills, cover the hose joints with rags or shop towels.
. Clean all pans in brake fluid and air dry; blow out all passages with compressed air.
. Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of dust and other foreign particles.
. Replace parts with new ones whenever specified to do so.
. Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter is allowed to contaminate the brake fluid.
. Do not reuse the drained fluid.
. Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the
life of the system.
. Coat the piston, piston seal, and caliper bore with clean brake fluid.
. ReDlace all rubber oarts with new ones whenever disassembled.
. After installing the front brake caliper do the following.- Check for leaks at hose and line joints and connections, and retighten if necessary.- Check the brake hoses for interference and twistinq.
