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.

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 bod y, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
• It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, hang 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 so ft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
REMOVAL
1. Remove front wheel and tires. Refer to WT-49, "Rotation".
2. Partially drain some brake fluid from the reservoir.
3. Remove the sliding pin bolts.

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. Remove rear wheel and tires using power tools.
2. Partially drain some brake fluid from the reservoir.

4. Support the cylinder body with wire, remove pads, shims, cover and retainers.
INSTALLATION
1. Push piston in using suitable tool.
CAUTION:
By pushing in piston, brake fluid returns to mast er 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.
