9. Remove the disc brake rotor. If reusing the disc brake rotor apply matching marks as shown.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Tighten components to specification. Refer to BR-39, "BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY : Exploded View"
.
• Align the L-shaped pin on the brake hose in the hole in the brake
caliper, then install the brake hose with new copper sealing wash-
ers (1) and tighten the union bolt (A) to the specified torque. Refer
to BR-23, "REAR : Exploded View"
.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse copper sealing washers.
• Refill with new brake fluid and bleed air fr om the brake hydraulic system. Refer to BR-14, "Bleeding Brake
System".
