2056 Type:
. Never use an air hose or dry b.ush to clean brake assemblies.. Uso an OSHA approved vacuum cleansr to avoid breathing brake dust.. Contaminated brake discs or pads reduce stopping ability.t when reusing the pads, always r6instsll the brake pads in their original positioos to prevent loss ol braking efficiency.
CAUTION:
' Do not spill brake tluid or th€ vehicle; it m8y damage the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off imme-diately with water.
. Clean all parts in brake tluid and air dry; blow out all passages with compr63ed air.. Beforo reassembling, check that all parts are fr€e of dust and other foreign particles,.

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
