Brake BurnishingINFOID:0000000001717009
Burnish the new braking surfaces according to following procedure after refinishing or replacing disc rotors,
pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
CAUTION:
Be careful of vehicle speed because brake does not operate easily until pad and disc rotor are
securely fitted.
Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive vehicle on straight, flat road.
2. Depress brake pedal with the power to stop vehicle within 3 to 5 seconds until the vehicle stops.
3. Drive without depressing brake pedal for a few minutes to cool brake.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely fitted.

WARNING:
Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with compressed air.
CAUTION:
While removing cylinder body, never depress the brake pedal because the piston will pop out.
It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or
replacement of the cylinder body. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so that brake hose is
not under tension.
Do not damage piston boot.
Always replace shims and shim covers as a set when replacing brake pads.
Keep the rotor clean of brake fluid.
Burnish the brake contact surfaces when refinishing or replacing brake rotors, after replacing pads
or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-29, "
