BRAKE TUBE AND HOSE
Hydraulic CircuitINFOID:0000000001703784
CAUTION:
• All tubes and hoses must be free from excessive bending, twisting and pulling.
• Make sure there is no interference with other parts when turning steering both clockwise and coun-
terclockwise.
• Brake tubes and hoses are an important safety part. Always disassemble the parts and retighten
their fittings, if a brake fluid leak is detected. Replace applicable part with a new one, if damaged part
is detected.
• 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 them with cloth and then wash it away with
water.
• Do not bend or twist brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.
• When removing components, cover brake line connections so that dirt, dust, or other foreign mat-
ters do not get in.
• Refill using recommended brake fluid. Refer to MA-10
.
• Never reuse drained brake fluid.

sary.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Never use mineral oils such as kerosene or gasoline during the cleaning and assembly processes.

FRONT DISC BRAKE
CAUTION:
• Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with compressed air.
• While removing brake pad or cylinder body, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
• It is not necessary to remove torque member mounting bolts and brake hose except for disassembly
or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so that brake hose is
not under tension.
• Do not damage piston boot.
• If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.
• Keep rotor free from brake fluid.
• When replacing brake pad, replace shim with a new one.
Removal and Installation of Brake PadINFOID:0000000001703798
REMOVAL
1. Remove tires from vehicle.
2. Remove sliding pin bolt (lower side).
3. Hang cylinder body with a wire, and remove pads, shims and
pad retainers from torque member.
CAUTION:
When removing pad retainer from torque member, lift pad
retainer in the direction shown by arrow, so as not to
deform it.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply M-77 grease or equivalent to the shims. Install shims to pads.
CAUTION:
Securely install shims according to mounting direction of pads.
2. Apply M7439 grease or equivalent to pad contact surface on pad retainers. Install pad retainers and pads
to the torque member.
CAUTION:
• When installing pad retainer, attach it firmly so that it is
not lifted up from torque member, as shown.
3. Install cylinder body to torque member.
NOTE:
Use a disc brake piston tool (commercial service tool) to easily press to piston in.
CAUTION:
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank for fluid level because brake fluid returns to mas-
ter cylinder reservoir tank when pressing piston in.
4. Install lower sliding pin bolt (lower side), and tighten it to the specified torque. Refer to BR-23, "
Compo-
nent" .
5. Check brake for drag.
