7.Clean the caliper thoroughly; remove any rust, and
check for grooves and cracks.
Check the brake disc for damage and cracks.
Make sure that the pad retainers are installed in the
correct positions.
PAD RETAINERS
Apply Molykote M77 to both sides of the shims and
to the back of the pads, Wipe excess grease off the
snrms.
Install the brake pads and pad shims on the caliper
bracket. Install the inner pad with its wear indicator
facing downward.
r When reusing the pads, always reinstall the
brake pads in their original positions to prsvent
loss of braking efficiency.
. Contaminated brake discs or pads reduce stop,ping ability. Keep grease off the discs and pads.

After installation, check for leaks at hose and linejoints or connections, and retighten if necessary.
Depress the brake pedal several times to make sure
the brakes work, then road-test.
NOTE: Engagement of the brake may .equire agreater pedal stroke immediately after the brake pads
have been replaced as a set. Several applications of
the brake pedal will restore the normal pedal stroke.

Rear Brake Disc
Disc Runout Inspection
Loosen the rear wheel nuts slightly, then raise the
vehicle and support it on safety stands. Remove the
rear wneers.
Remove the brake pads (see page 19-16).
Inspect the disc surface for damage or cracks. Clean
the disc thoroughly and remove all rust.
Use wheel nuts and suitable plain washers to hold
the disc securely against the hub, then mount a dial
indicator as shown, and measure the runout at 10
mm (0.4 in) in from the outer edge of the disc.
Brake Disc Runout:
Se.vice Limit: O.1O mm {0.0O4 in) max.
ll the disc is beyond the service limit, refinish the
brake disc.
Max. Refinishing Limit: 8.0 mm (0.32 in)
DIAL INDICATOR
NOTEi A new disc should be refinished if its runout
is greater than 0.'10 mm (O.O04 in).
Disc Thickness and Parallelism
Loosen the rear wheel lug nuts slightly, then raise
the vehicle and support it on safety stands. Remove
the rear wheels.
Remove the brake pads (see page 19-16).
Using a micrometer, measure disc thickness at
eight points, approximately 45" apart and 10 mm
(0.4 in) in from the outer edge of the disc. Replace
the brake disc if the smallest measurement is less
than the max. retinishing limit.
Bfake Disc Thickness:
Standard: 8.9 - 9.1 mm
(0.35-0.36 in)
Max. Refinishinq Limit:8.O mm (0.31 in)
NOTE: Replace the brake disc it the smaLlest mea-
surement is less than the max. retinishing limit.
Brake Disc Parallelism: O.O15 mm
(O.00O6 in) max.
NOTE: This is the maximum allowable difference be-
tween the thickness measurement.
lf the disc is bevond the service limit for parallelism,
refinish the brake disc.
NOTE: See section 18 for brake disc replacement.

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.
