WARNING:

Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of airborne particles or other materials.

CAUTION:

- While removing caliper body never depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
- It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or replacement of caliper body. In this case, hang caliper body with a wire so as not to stretch the brake hose.
- Do not damage the piston boot.
- If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.
- Always replace shim and shim cover as a set when replacing brake pads.
- Keep rotor free from grease and brake fluid.
- Burnish the brake contact surface after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to [Brake Burnishing] Front Brakes.
