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.
Remove, disassemble, inspect, reassemble, and install the caliper, and note these items:
NOTE: Make sure that the caliper pins are installed correctly. Upper caliper pin B and lower caliper pin A are different.
If these caliper pins are installed in the wrong location, it will cause vibration, uneven or rapid brake pad wear, and
possibly uneven tire wear.  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.
 To prevent dripping brake fluid, cover disc onnected hose joints with rags or shop towels.
 Clean all parts in brake fluid and air dry; blow out all passages with compressed air.
 Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of dirt and other foreign particles.
 Replace parts with new ones as specified in the illustration.
 Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter gets in the brake fluid.
 Make sure no grease or oil gets on the brake discs or pads.
 When reusing brake pads, always reinstall them in their original positions to prevent loss of braking efficiency.
 Do not reuse drained brake fluid. Use only clean Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid from an unopened container. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and shorten the life of the system.
 Coat the piston, the piston seal groove, and the caliper bore with clean brake fluid.
 Use recommended greases in the front caliper set.
 After installing the caliper, check the brake hose and line for leaks, interference, and twisting.
Install inner brake pad with
its wear indicator upward.

 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.
