1. Remove some brake fluid from the master cylinder.
2. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with
safety stands in the proper locations (see page

3. Remove the front wheels.
4. Remove the flange bolt (A) while holding the caliper pin (B) with a wrench. Be careful not to
damage the pin boot, and pivot the caliper (C) up
out of the way. Check the hose and pin boots for
damage and deterioration.
5. Remove the pad shims (A) and the brake pads (B). 6. Remove the pad retainers (A).
7. Clean the caliper bracket (B) thoroughly; remove
any rust, and check for grooves and cracks. Verify
that the caliper pins (C) move in and out smoothly.
Clean and lube if needed.
8. Inspect the brake disc for runout, thickness, parallelism (see page 19-19) and check for damage
and cracks.
9. Apply a thin coat of M-77 assembly paste (P/N 08798-9010) to the retainer mating surface of the
caliper bracket (indicated by the arrows).
10. Install the pad retainers. Wipe excess assembly pasteofftheretainers.Keeptheassemblypasteoff

11. Install the brake caliper piston compressor tool (A)
on the caliper body (B).
12. Press in the piston with the brake caliper piston compressor tool so the caliper will fit over the
brake pads. Make sure the piston boot is in position
to prevent damaging it when pivoting the caliper
down.
NOTE: Be careful when pressing in the piston;
brake fluid might overflow from the master
cylinder’s reservoir. If brake fluid gets on any
painted surface, wash it off immediately with water.
13. Remove the brake caliper piston compressor tool. 14. Apply a thin coat of M-77 assembly paste (P/N
08798-9010) to the pad side of the shims (A), the
back of the brake pads (B), and the other areas
indicated by the arrows. Wipe excess assembly
paste off the pad shims and the brake pads friction
material. Keep grease and assembly paste off the
brake disc and the brake pads. Contaminated brake
disc or brake pads reduce stopping ability.
15. Install the brake pads and the pad shims correctly. Install the brake pad with the wear indicator (C) on
the upper inside. If you are reusing the brake pads,
always reinstall the brake pads in their original
positions to prevent a momentary loss of braking
efficiency.

16. Pivot the caliper down into position. Install the flange bolt (A), and tighten it to the specified torque
while holding the caliper pin (B) with a wrench
being careful not to damage the pin boot.
17. Clean the mating surfaces between the brake disc and the inside of the wheel, then install the front
wheels.
18. Press the brake pedal several times to make sure the brakes work.
NOTE: Engagement may require a greater 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.
19. Add brake fluid as needed.
20. After installation, check for leaks at hose and line joints or connections, and retighten if necessary.
Test-drive the vehicle, then recheck for leaks
(see page 19-37). 1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with
safety stands in the proper locations (see page
1-11).
2. Remove the front wheels.
3. Check the thickness (A) of the inner pad (B) and the outer pad (C). Do not include the thickness of the
backing plate.
4. If any part of the brake pad thickness is less than the service limit, replace the front brake pads as a
set.
5. Clean the mating surfaces between the brake disc and the inside of the wheel, then install the front
