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.
• Do not damage piston boot.
• Keep rotor free from brake fluid.
• Refill with new specified brake fluid.
• Burnish brake contact surface after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or it a soft
pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-30, "
Brake Burnishing Procedure".
REMOVAL
1. Remove front wheel and tire. Refer to WT-49, "Rotation".
2. Fasten disc rotor using wheel nut.
3. Remove brake reservoir cap.
4. Remove union bolt, and then disconnect brake hose from caliper assembly. NOTE:
Discard the copper washers, do not reuse.
