4. Hang cylinder body with a wire, and remove pads, pad retainers,shims, and shim cover from torque member.
CAUTION:
When removing the pad retainer from the torque member,
lift it in the direction indi cated by the arrow as shown so
that it does not deform.
INSTALLATION
1. Push piston in using suitable tool.
CAUTION:
In the case of replacing a pad with new one, ch eck the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank
because brake fluid returns to reservoir tank when pressing piston in.
NOTE:
Use a suitable tool to easily press in piston.
2. Apply Molykote AS-880N grease or equivalent to between shim cover and shim. Install inner shim, inner shim cover to inner pad, and install outer shim, outer shim cover to outer pad.
3. Install pad retainers and pads to torque member. CAUTION:
• Securely assemble pad retainers so that they ar e not being lifted up from torque member.
• Both inner and outer pads have a pad return system on the pad retainer. Install pad return lever
securely to pad wear sensor.
4. Install cylinder body to torque member.
5. Install sliding pin bolts, and tighten to specified torque. Refer to BR-31, "
Exploded View of Brake Caliper".
6. Check front disc brake for drag and correct as necessary.
7. Install front wheel and tire. Refer to WT-48, "
Rotation".
8. Check brake fluid level. Refer to BR-17, "
On Board Inspection".
Brake Burnishing ProcedureINFOID:0000000004894515
Burnish contact surfaces between disc rotors and pads according to following procedure after refinishing or
replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
CAUTION:
• Be careful of vehicle speed because the brake does not operate easily until pad and disc rotor are securely seated.
• 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 for a few minutes to cool the brake.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely seated.

• While removing cylinder body, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
• It is not necessary to disconnect brake hose connection except for disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, ha ng cylinder body with a wire so as not to stretch brake hose.
• Do not damage piston boot.
• If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.
• Always replace shim and shim cover as a set when replacing brake pads.
• Keep rotor free from brake fluid.
• Burnish the brake pads and disc rotor mutually contacting surfaces, after refinishing or replacing
rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
REMOVAL
1. Partially drain brake fluid.
2. Remove rear wheel and tires. Refer to WT-48, "
Rotation".
3. Remove the sliding pin bolts from the cylinder body. Refer to BR-35, "
Exploded View of Brake Caliper".
4. Remove cylinder body and secure with wire, remove pads.

Using a suitable tool, makes it easier to push in the piston.
2. Apply Molykote AS-880N grease to knuckle slide where brake pads contact. CAUTION:
Do not get grease on the brake pads or brake rotor friction surfaces.
3. Install pads to cylinder body.
4. Install cylinder body to torque member.
5. Install cylinder body sliding pin bolts and tighten to specification. Refer to BR-35, "
Exploded View of Brake
Caliper".
6. Check rear disc brake for drag.
7. Install rear wheel and tires. Refer to WT-48, "
Rotation".
8. Check brake fluid level. Refer to BR-17, "

CALIPER INSPECTION
Cylinder Body
Check inside surface of cylinder body for score, rust wear, damage or foreign materials. If any of the above
conditions are observed, replace cylinder body.
Minor damage from rust or foreign materials may be eliminated by polishing surface with a fine emery paper.
Replace cylinder body if necessary.
CAUTION:
• Use new brake fluid to clean. Do not use mi neral oils such as gasoline or kerosene.
Torque Member
Check for wear, cracks, and damage. If damage or deformation is present, replace the affected part.
Piston
Check piston for score, rust, wear, damage or presence of foreign materials. Replace if any of the above con-
ditions are observed.
CAUTION:
• Piston sliding surface is plated, do not polish with emery paper even if rust of foreign materials are
stuck to sliding surface.
Sliding Pin Bolts and Sliding Pin Boots
Make sure there is no wear, damage, or cracks in sliding sleeve and sliding sleeve boots, and if there are,
replace them.
ASSEMBLY
1. Install the bleed valve and cap.
2. Apply rubber grease to the new piston seal (1) and insert the new piston seal (1) into the groove on the cylinder body.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse piston seal.
3. Apply rubber grease to the new piston boot (1). Cover the piston end (2) with the piston boot (1), and then install the cylinder side
lip on the piston boot (1) securely into the groove on the cylinder
body.
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse piston boot.
