BRAKE PEDAL
3. Disconnect the adjustable brake pedal cable from the adjustablepedal electric motor.
• Unlock (1) then pull (2) the adjustable brake pedal cable to dis-connect it from the adjustable pedal electric motor as shown.
4. Remove snap pin and clevis pin from the clevis of brake booster.
5. Remove brake pedal assembly nuts and remove the brake pedal assembly. • Temporarily install the brake pedal assembly nuts by hand to support the brake booster.
WARNING:
Do not bend the brake tubing.
CAUTION:
• Before removal and installation, the accelerator and brake pedals must be in the forward mostposition (closest to the floor). This is to align the base position of the accelerator and brake ped-
als.
• Do not disassemble the brake pedal adjusting mechanism.
• Avoid damage from dropping th e brake pedal assembly during handling.
• Keep the brake pedal assembly away from water.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check the brake pedal assembly for the following items:
• Crack or deformation of clevis pin stopper
• Clevis pin deformation
• Crack of any welded portion of the brake pedal assembly
• Brake pedal bend or deformation
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Check the brake pedal for smooth operation. Ther e should be no binding or sticking when applying or
releasing the brake pedal.
• Check the brake pedal adjustable feature for smooth operation. There should be no binding or sticking when adjusting the brake pedal forward or backward.
• After installing the brake pedal assembly, be sure to adjust it. Refer to BR-15, "

WARNING:
Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of air borne
particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
• While removing cylinder bod y, do not 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 caliper assembly. In this case, hang cylinder body with a 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 free from brake fluid.
• Burnish the brake pads and disc rotor mutually contacting surfaces, after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a so ft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
REMOVAL
1. Partially drain brake fluid. Refer to BR-17, "Drain and Refill".
2. Remove front wheel and tires using power tool.
3. Remove lower sliding pin bolts.
