Brake BurnishingINFOID:0000000009463694
CAUTION:
• Burnish contact surfaces between brake pads and disc brake rotor according to the following proce-
dure after refinishing the disc brake rotor, replacing brake pads or if a soft pedal occurs at very low
mileage.
• Be careful of vehicle speed. Brakes do not operat e firmly/securely until pads and disc rotor are
securely seated.
• Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive the vehicle on straight, flat road.
2. Depress the brake pedal until the vehicle stops.
3. Release the brake pedal for a few minutes to allow the brake components to cool.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely seated.

CAUTION:
• All hoses and piping (tubes) must be fr ee from excessive bending, twisting and pulling.
• Make sure there is no interference with other pa rts when turning steering both clockwise and coun-
terclockwise.
• The brake piping is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is detected, always disassemble the
parts. Replace applicable part with a new one, if necessary.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
• Do not bend or twist brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
• After installation of the ABS actuator and electri c unit (control unit), refill brake system with new
brake fluid. Then bleed the ai r from the system. Refer to BR-14, "Bleeding Brake System"
.

5. Remove the brake hose.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
• All brake hoses and brake tubes must be free fr om excessive bending, twisting and pulling.
• Make sure that there is no interference with othe r parts when turning steering both clockwise and
counterclockwise.
• Brake tubes and brake hoses are an important safety part. Always disassemble the parts and
retighten their fittings if a brake fluid leak is detect ed. Replace applicable part with a new one, if dam-
aged part is detected.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
• Refill with new brake fluid “DOT 3”.
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
1. Assemble the union bolt and new copper sealing washers on the brake hose. CAUTION:
Do not reuse the copper sealing washers.
2. Install brake hose by aligning the brake hose with the protrusion (B) on brake caliper assembly as shown. Tighten union bolt (A)
to the specified torque. Refer to BR-20, "FRONT : Exploded
View".
