. Example;
A{ter the rear toe inspection, the wheel is 2 mm(0.08 inl out of the soecification.- Move the arm so the adjusting bolt moves 2 mm(0.08 inl inward from the position recorded betore theadjustment.- The distance the adjusting bolt is moved should be
equal to the amount out-of-specification.

Rear Brake Caliper
Disassembly/Reassembly
o Never use an air hose or dry brush to clean brake assemblies.o Use an OSHA-approv€d vacuum cleaner to avoid breathing brake dust.. Conlaminated brake discs or pads reduce stopping ability.. When reusing the pads, always reinstall the brake pads in their original positions to prevent loss of braking efficiency,
CAUTION: Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damags the paint; it brake fluid does contast the paint, wash itoff immediately with water,
NOTE:
. Coat the piston. piston seal, and caliper bore with clean brake fluid.. Beplace all rubber parts with new ones whenever disassembled.o Clean all parts in brake fluid and air dry; blow out all passages with compressed air.a Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of dust and other foreign particles.
. Replace parts with new ones whenever specified to do so.. Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter is allowed to contaminate the brake fluid.. Always use Genuine Honda DOT3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the lifeof the svstem.
