16. Pivot the caliper down into position. Install theflange 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).

2. Remove the front wheel.
3. Remove the brake hose mounting bolt (A) from the damper.
4. Remove the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts (B), then remove the caliper assembly (C) from the

to hang the caliper assembly from the
undercarriage. Do not twist the brake hose
excessively. 5. Remove the brake disc flathead screws (A).
6. Remove the brake disc (B) from the front hub.
NOTE: If the brake disc is stuck to the front hub,
thread two 8 x 1.25 mm bolts (C) into the brake disc
to push it away from the front hub. Turn each bolt
90 degrees at a time to prevent the brake disc from
binding.
7. Install the brake disc in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE: Before installing the brake disc, clean the
mating surfaces between the front hub and the
inside of the brake disc.
8. Inspect the brake disc runout (see page 19-19).

 Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if brake fluid gets on the paint,
wash it off immediately with water.
 Be careful not to damage or deform the brake lines during removal and installation.
 Plug the ends of the hoses and the joints to prevent spilling brake fluid.
1. Remove the air cleaner (see page 11-345).
2. Remove the reservoir cap and brake fluid from the master cylinder reservoir with a syringe.
3. Disconnect the brake fluid l evel switch connector
(A).
4. Remove the reservoir tank mounting bolt (B). 5. Disconnect the brake lines (A) from the master
cylinder (B). To prevent spills, cover the hose joints
with clean rags or shop towels.
6. Remove the master cylinder mounting nuts (C) and washers (D).
7. Remove the master cylinder from the brake booster (E). Be careful not to bend or damage the brake
lines when removing the master cylinder.
8. Remove the rod seal (F) from the master cylinder. NOTE: During installation, set a new rod seal onto
the master cylinder with its grooved side (G)
toward the master cylinder.
9. Install the master cylinder in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
 Coat the inner bore lip and outer circumference of the new rod seal with the Shin-Etsu silicone
grease (P/N 08798-9013).
 Make sure not to get any silicone grease on the terminal part of the connectors and switches,
especially if you have silicone grease on your
hands or gloves.
 Check the brake pedal height and free play after installing the master cylinder, and adjust it if
necessary (see page 19-6).
10. Bleed the brake system (see page 19-9).
11. Spin the wheels to check for brake drag.
Replace.

Frequent inhalation of brake pad dust, regardless of
material composition, could be hazardous to your
health.
 Avoid breathing dust particles.
 Never use an air hose or brush to clean brake assemblies. Use an OSHA-approved vacuum
cleaner.
1. Raise the rear of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations (see page
1-11).
2. Remove the rear 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 rear brake pads as a
set.
5. Clean the mating surfaces between the brake disc and the inside of the wheel, then install the rear
wheels. 1. Remove some brake fluid from the master cylinder.
2. Raise the rear of the vehicle, and support it with
safety stands in the proper locations (see page
1-11).
3. Remove the rear wheels.
4. Remove the brake hose mounting bolt (A).
5. Remove the flange bolts (B) while holding respective caliper pin (C) with a wrench. Be careful
not to damage the pin boot, and remove the caliper
(D). Check the hose and pin boots for damage and
deterioration.
NOTE: Do not twist the brake hose and the parking
brake cable to prevent damage.

14. Rotate the caliper piston (A) clockwise into the
cylinder, then align the cutout (B) in the piston with
the tab (C) on the inner pad by turning the piston
back. Lubricate the boot with rubber grease to
avoid twisting the piston boot. If the piston boot is
twisted, back it out so it is positioned properly.
NOTE: Be careful when moving the piston back in
the caliper; brake fluid might overflow from the
master cylinder’s reservoir. If brake fluid gets on
any painted surface, wash it off immediately with
water.
15. Install the caliper. Install the flange bolts (D), and tighten it to the specified torque while holding the
respective caliper pin with a wrench being careful
not to damage the pin boots.
16. Install the brake hose mounting bolt (E).
17. Clean the mating surfaces between the brake disc and the inside of the wheel, then install the rear
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
