Clean the caliper thoroughly; remove any rust, and
check for grooves and cracks.
Check the brake disc for damage and cracks.
lvlake sure that the pad retainers are installed in
their correct positions.
PAD RETAINERS
Apply grease to the points indicated by the arrow in
the following drawing:
NOTE: Use the pad grease included in the pad set
or lMolykote M77 grease, and apply a thin coat of
grease evenly to the designated points.
. Piston end and inner pad contact surface
. Pad and caliper bracket contact surface
. Outer pad shim and outer pad contact surface
. Outer pad shim and caliper body contact surface
lnstall the brake pads and outer pad shim on the
caliper bracket. Install the inner pad with its wear
indicator facing downward.
@iwhen reusing the pads, always reinstall the
brake pads in iheil original posiiions lo prevont
loss ol braking efficiency
. Contaminaled brake discs or pads reduce stop-
ping ability. Keep grease off the discs and pads.

12. Rotate the caliper piston clockwise into the cylinder'
then align the cutout in the piston with the tab on
the inner pad by turning the piston back
CAUTION: Lubricate ths boot with rubber grease
to avoid twisting the piston boot. lf the piston boot
is twisted, back it out so it sits properly.

BRAKE CALIPER
Install the brake hose clamp on the trailing arm.
Install and tighten the caliper mounting bolts.
Install the caliper shield.
After installation. check for leaks at hose and line
joints and connections, and retighten if necessary.
Depress the brake pedal several times to make sure
the brakes work, then test-drive
NOTE: Engagement of the brake may requrre greater
pedal travel immediately after the brake pads have
been replaced as a set. Several light applications of
the brake pedal will restore the normal pedal travel.
Greater than normal pedal travel may damage the
master cylinder.

IReassembly
HP* "n ",, hos6 or drv brush to ctoan brake assemblies.
o Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleanel to avoid brealhing brake dust'
. Contaminated brake discs or pads reduce stopping sbility.
. When reusing the pads, in3tall thom in thoil original positions to prevent loss of braking efficiency'
CAUTION:
. Do not soill brake fluid on the vehicle; lt may damage lhe paint; if brake fluid does contacl the paint' wash it oft imme-
diately with water.
. Cl€an all Darts in brake fluid and air dry; blow out all passagss with comPressed air'
. Belore rsas3embling, check that all parts ars free ot du3t and othor tor€ign particles'
. Replace parts with new ones whenever spscifiod to do so.
o Make sur€ no dirt or othor foreign matter is allowed to contaminate the brake tluid'
. Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can Gtuse corrosion and decrease the
lif€ of ths system.
NOTE:
. Coat piston, piston seal, and caliper bore with clean brake fluid
. Replace all rubber parts with new ones whenever disassembled.
o .-'{@]: Use recommended silicone and pin greases in the caliper seal set.
. -ffi,Use recommended rubber grease in the caliper seal set.
