Fluid Contamination

CAUTION: Blistering or swelling indicates contamination of brake fluid by a petroleum-based solvent or oil. In that case, all rubber components in the brake hydraulic system must be inspected and replaced and the entire system must be flushed with clean brake fluid to prevent recontamination.

1. Replace the following components:
- front brake caliper seals
- front brake hose
- rear wheel brake hose
- brake pressure control valves
- brake master cylinder
