FRONT DISC BRAKE





Component

WARNING: Clean brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of airborne particles or other materials.

CAUTION:
- When cylinder body is open, do not depress the brake pedal because the piston will pop out.
- It is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for disassembly or replacement of cylinder body. In this case, suspend cylinder body with wire so as not to stretch brake hose.
- Be careful not to damage piston boot or get oil on rotor. Always replace shims when replacing pads.
- Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
