WARNING:
Clean dust on cylinder body and brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of
airborne particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
While removing cylinder body never depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or
replacement of cylinder body. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.
Do not damage piston boot.
Burnish brake contact surface after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft
pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-25, "

Removal and Installation of Brake PadEFS004WI
REMOVAL
1. Remove tires from vehicle using power tool.
2. Remove lower sliding pin bolt.
