FRONT DISC BRAKE
NOTE:
Discard the copper washers, do not reuse.
5. Remove torque member bolts, and remove brake caliper assembly.
CAUTION:
Do not drop brake pad.
6. Apply matching marks to disc rotor and wheel hub assembly as shown if the disc rotor is to be reused, then remove disc rotor.
CAUTION:
Put matching marks on wheel hub assembly and disc rotor
if the disc rotor is to be reused.
INSTALLATION
1. If reusing the disc rotor, use the matching marks to align discrotor on the wheel hub assembly as shown, then install disc
rotor using a wheel nut to hold it in place.
CAUTION:
Use matching marks on wheel hub assembly and disc rotor
if the disc rotor is to be reused.
2. Install brake caliper assembly, and tighten torque member bolts to the specified torque.

Removal and Installation of Brake PadINFOID:0000000004057218
WARNING:
Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of air borne
particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
• 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. Refer to BR-17, "Drain and Refill".
2. Remove rear wheel and tires using power tools. Refer to WT-41, "
Adjustment".
3. Remove the sliding pin bolt from the cylinder body. Refer to BR-35, "
Exploded View of Brake Caliper".
4. Remove the cylinder body secure with wire and remove pads.
INSTALLATION
1. Push piston in using suitable tool. CAUTION:
1. Outer pad 2. Inner pad

By pushing in piston, br ake fluid returns to master cylinder reservoir tank. Watch the brake fluid
level in the reservoir tank.
NOTE:
Using a suitable tool, makes it easier to push in the piston.
2. Apply Molykote M-77 grease to knuckle slide where brake pad contacts. 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 sliding pin bolt and tighten to specification. Refer to BR-35, "
Exploded View of Brake Caliper"
6. Check rear disc brake for drag and correct as necessary.
7. Install rear wheel and tires. Refer to WT-41, "
Adjustment".
8. Check brake fluid level. Refer to BR-17, "
On Board Inspection".
Brake Burnishing ProcedureINFOID:0000000004057219
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.
