Disassembly
CAUTION!
• Clean around caliper with brake fluid before disassembly.
• Be careful not to damage inside (bore side) of cylinder.

1) Remove piston with air blown into flexible hose bolt installation hole.
WARNING!
Do not apply too highly compressed air
which will cause piston to jump out of
cylinder. Place a cloth (1) to prevent piston
from damage. It should be taken out
gradually with moderately compressed air.
Do not place your fingers in front of piston
when using compressed air.

2) Remove cylinder boot.
3) Remove piston seal using a thin blade like a thickness gauge, etc.
4) Remove bleeder plug and cap from caliper.

Check pad lining for wear. When wear exceeds limit,
replace with new one.
CAUTION!
Never polish pad lining with sandpaper. If
lining is polished with sandpaper, hard
particles of sandpaper will be deposited in
lining and may damage disc. When pad lining
requires correction, replace it with a new one.

Rear brake pad thickness (lining thickness)
Standard: 9.0 mm (0.354 in.)
Limit: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
NOTE
When pads are removed, visually inspect
caliper for brake fluid leak. Correct leaky
point, if any.
