Checking Brake Fluid Level
+Check ¯uid level in reservoir tank. It should be between Max
and Min lines on reservoir tank.
+ If ¯uid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
+ If the brake warning lamp comes on, check brake ¯uid level
switch and parking brake switch.
Checking Brake Line
CAUTION:
If leakage occurs around joints, retighten or, if necessary,
replace damaged parts.
1. Check brake lines (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration
or other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
2. Check for oil leakage by fully depressing brake pedal while engine is running.
Changing Brake Fluid
CAUTION:
+Re®ll with new brake ¯uid ``DOT 3''.
+ Always keep ¯uid level higher than minimum line on res-
ervoir tank.
+ Never reuse drained brake ¯uid.
+ Be careful not to splash brake ¯uid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake ¯uid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
1. Clean inside of reservoir tank, and re®ll with new brake ¯uid.
2. Connect a vinyl tube to each air bleeder valve.
3. Drain brake ¯uid from each air bleeder valve by depressing brake pedal.
4. Re®ll until brake ¯uid comes out of each air bleeder valve. Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to re®ll
brake ¯uid. Refer to ``Bleeding Brake System'', BR-4.

Pad Replacement
WARNING:
Clean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the
hazard of airborne particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
+When cylinder body is removed, do not depress brake
pedal, or piston will pop out.
+ Be careful not to damage piston boot or get oil on rotor.
Always replace shims when replacing pads.
+ If shims are rusted or show peeling of the rubber coat,
replace them with new shims.
+ It is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for
disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this
case, suspend cylinder body with wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.
+ Carefully monitor brake ¯uid level because brake ¯uid will
return to reservoir when pushing back piston.
+ Always remove pad retainer in the direction of the arrow.
Failure to do so will damage pawl areas, causing pad
retainer to be unsuitable for further use.
1. Remove master cylinder reservoir cap.
2. Remove upper and lower pin bolts.
3. Remove cylinder body from torque member. Then remove pads, pad retainers, and inner and outer shims.Standard pad thickness: 12.0 mm (0.472 in)
Pad wear limit: 2.0 mm (0.079 in)
Carefully monitor brake ¯uid level because brake ¯uid will
return to reservoir when pushing back piston.

WARNING:
Clean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the
hazard of airborne particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
+When cylinder body is open, do not depress brake pedal,
or piston will pop out.
+ Be careful not to damage piston boot or get oil on rotor.
Always replace shims when replacing pads.
+ If shims are rusted or show peeling of the rubber coat,
replace them with new shims.
+ It is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for
disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this
case, suspend cylinder body with wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.
+ Carefully monitor brake ¯uid level because brake ¯uid will
return to reservoir when pushing back piston.
1. Remove master cylinder reservoir cap.
2. Remove lower pin bolt.
3. Open cylinder body upward. Then remove pad retainers, and inner and outer shims.Standard pad thickness: 10.0 mm (0.394 in)
Pad wear limit: 2.0 mm (0.079 in)
Carefully monitor brake ¯uid level because brake ¯uid will
return to reservoir when pushing back piston.
