CAUTION:
• All hoses and piping (tubes) must be fr ee from excessive bending, twisting and pulling.
• Make sure there is no interference with other parts when turning the steering wheel both clockwise
and counterclockwise.
• The brake piping is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is detected, always disassemble the
parts. Replace applicable part with a new one, if necessary.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
• Do not bend or twist brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.
• When removing components, cover connections so that no dirt, dust, or other foreign matter gets in.
• Refill with new specified brake fluid. Refer to MA-13, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

5. Remove torque member bolts, and remove brake caliperassembly.
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 to vehicle, and tighten torque member bolts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Do not allow oil or any moisture on all contact surfaces
between steering knuckle and caliper assembly, bolts, and
washer.
