C: DISASSEMBLY
1) Remove mud and foreign matter from the caliper
body assembly and support.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to allow foreign matter to enter
the brake hose connector.
2) Place a wooden block in the caliper body as
shown in the figure to prevent the piston from jump-
ing out and being damaged.
3) Gradually apply compressed air via the brake
hose installation hole to push the piston out.
4) Remove the piston boot.
5) Remove the piston seal from caliper body cylinder.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the cylinder and piston seal
groove.
6) Remove the guide pin and boot from caliper body.
D: ASSEMBLY
1) Clean the inside of the caliper body using brake
fluid.
2) Apply a coat of brake fluid to piston seal and in-
stall piston seal in the groove on caliper body.
3) Apply a coat of brake fluid to the inner surface of
cylinder and the entire outer surface of the piston.
4) Apply a coat of specified grease to the boot, and
fit to the groove on the ends of the cylinder.
Grease:
NIGLUBE RX-2 (Part No. K0779GA102)
5) Insert the piston into cylinder.
CAUTION:
Do not force the piston into cylinder.
6) Position the boot in the grooves on cylinder and
piston.
7) Apply a coat of specified grease to the lock pin
and guide pin outer surface, cylinder inner surface,
and boot grooves.
Grease:

A: REMOVAL
CAUTION:
Do not allow brake fluid to come in contact with
vehicle body. If it does, wash off with water and
wipe away completely.
1) Lift-up the vehicle, and then remove the rear
wheels.
2) Disconnect the brake hose from caliper body as-
sembly.
3) Remove the caliper lower bolt.
4) Raise the caliper body, and then move it toward
vehicle center to separate it from the support.
5) Remove the support from housing.
NOTE:
Remove the support only when replacing the rotor
or support. It need not be removed when servicing
the caliper body assembly.
6) Remove mud and foreign matter from the caliper
body assembly and support.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to allow foreign matter to enter
the brake hose connector.
B: INSTALLATION
1) Install the support to the housing.
Tightening torque:
66 N·m (6.7 kgf-m, 48.7 ft-lb)
2) Apply a thin coat of Molykote M7439 to the pad
clip.
3) Apply a thin coat of Molykote AS880N (Part No.
K0777YA010) to the contact surface between the
pad and shim.
4) Install the pad to support.
5) Install the caliper body to the support.
Tightening torque:
27 N·m (2.8 kgf-m, 19.9 ft-lb)
6) Connect the brake hose using a new brake hose
gasket.
Tightening torque:
18 N·m (1.8 kgf-m, 13.0 ft-lb)
7) Bleed air from the brake system.
C: DISASSEMBLY
1) Remove the piston boot.
2) Place a wooden block in the caliper body as
shown in the figure to prevent the piston from jump-
ing out and being damaged.
3) Gradually apply compressed air via the brake
hose installation hole to push the piston out.
