REAR DISC BRAKE





Component

WARNING: Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with compressed air.

CAUTION:
- While removing cylinder body, never depress the brake pedal because the piston will pop out.
- It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or replacement of the caliper assembly. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so that brake hose is not under tension.
- Do not damage piston boot.
- Always replace shims and shim covers as a set when replacing brake pads.
- Keep the rotor clean of brake fluid.
- Burnish the brake contact surfaces when refinishing or replacing brake rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to "Brake Burnishing".
