wall from being damaged.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Cylinder Body
• Check the inner wall of cylinder for damage, wear, corrosion, and pin holes. Replace cylinder body if neces-
sary.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Never use mineral oils such as kerosene or gasoline during the cleaning and assembly processes.
• Make sure that there is no foreign material such as dirt and dust on the inner wall of cylinder, piston,
and piston cup. Be careful not to damage parts with a service tool when assembling.
• Do not drop parts. If a part is dropped, do not use it.
1. Apply brake fluid to the inner wall of cylinder body, primary pis-
ton assembly and secondary piston assembly.
2. Insert secondary piston and primary piston assembly into cylin-
der body in this order.

• It is not necessary to remove torque member mounting bolts and brake hose except for disassembly
or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so that brake hose is
not under tension.
• Do not damage piston boot.
• If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.
• Keep rotor free from brake fluid.
• When replacing brake pad, replace shim with a new one.

to the torque member.
CAUTION:
• When installing pad retainer, attach it firmly so that it is
not lifted up from torque member, as shown.
3. Install cylinder body to torque member.
NOTE:
Use a disc brake piston tool (commercial service tool) to easily press to piston in.
CAUTION:
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank for fluid level because brake fluid returns to mas-
ter cylinder reservoir tank when pressing piston in.
