CAUTION:

All brake hoses and tubes must be free from excessive bending, twisting and pulling.

Make sure there is no interference with other parts when turning steering both clockwise and
counterclockwise.

The brake tubes and hoses is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is detected, always dis-
assemble the parts. Replace applicable part with a new one, if necessary.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it way cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted surfaces of body, immediately wipe it off and them wash it away with water
immediately.

Do not bend or twist brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.

When removing components, cover brake line connections so that no dirt, no dust, or other for-
eign matter gets in.

Refill with new brake fluid “ DOT 3 ”.

Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or
replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, suspend cylinder body with wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.

Do not damage piston boot.

If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.

Always replace shims and shim covers as a set when replacing brake pads.

Keep rotor clean, from brake fluid.

Burnish brake contact surface after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or it a soft
pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-24, "
Brake Burnishing Procedure" .

REMOVAL
1. Remove tires from vehicle with power tool.
2. Remove lower sliding pin bolt.
3. Hang cylinder body with a wire, and remove pads, pad retainers, shims from torque member.
CAUTION:
When removing pad retainer from torque member, lift pad
retainer in the direction shown by arrow (shown in the fig-
ure) so as not to deform it.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) or equivalent to the both sides
of inner shim and outer shim, install inner shim to inner pad, and
outer shim and outer shim cover to outer pad.
2. Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) or equivalent to pad contact surface on pad retainer, and install pad retainers and pads to
torque member.
CAUTION:
Inner pad and outer pad have pad-return mechanism on
upper side of pad retainer. When installing pad to torque
member, be sure to install pad return lever to pad wear sen-
sor securely.
3. Install cylinder body to torque member. CAUTION:
When replacing pads with new ones, press in piston until pads can be installed. In this case, care-
fully monitor brake fluid level in reservoir tank because brake fluid will return to master cylinder
reservoir tank.
4. Install lower sliding pin bolt, and tighten it to the specified torque. Refer to BR-19, "
Components" .
5. Secure disc rotor with wheel nuts. Depress brake pedal a few times until it gets a responsive touch.
