INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Cylinder Body
Check the inner wall of the cylinder for rust, wear, cracks or damage. Replace if necessary.
CAUTION:
Always clean with new brake fluid. Never clean with mineral oil such as gasoline and light oil.
Torque Member
Check the torque member for rust, wear, cracks or damage. Replace if necessary.
Piston
Check the surface of the piston for rust, wear, cracks or damage. Replace if necessary.
CAUTION:
A piston sliding surface is plated. Never polish with sandpaper.
Sliding Pin, Sliding Pin Boot and Bushing
Check the sliding pins, sliding boot and bushing for rust, wear, cracks or damage. Replace if necessary.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check a drag of front disc brake. If any drag is found, follow the procedure described below.
2. Remove brake pads.
3. Press the piston.
CAUTION:
 Never damage the piston boot.
 When replacing a pad with new one, check a brake fluid level in the reservoir tank because brake
fluid returns to master cylinder reservoir tank when pressing piston in.
NOTE:
Use a disc brake piston tool to easily press piston.
4. Install brake pads.
5. Depress the brake pedal several times.
6. Check a drag of front disc brake again. If any drag is found, disassemble the cylinder body. Refer to BR-
36, "BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY : Disassembly and Assembly".
7. Burnish contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing disc rotors, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mile-
age. Refer to BR-13, "
DISC ROTOR : Inspection and Adjustment".
