compressed air.

CAUTION:

Never depress the brake pedal. Brake fluid may splash while removing the brake hose and brake tube.
1.

Install disc rotor.

CAUTION:

Align the matching marks that have been made during removal when reusing the disc rotor.

2.

Install the brake caliper to the vehicle and tighten the caliper mounting bolts to the specified torque.

CAUTION:

Never spill or splash any grease and moisture on the caliper mounting face, threads, mounting
bolts and washers. Wipe out any grease and moisture.

3.

Tighten the flare nut to the specified torque with a flare nut crowfoot and a torque wrench.

CAUTION:

• Cover crowfoot with a cloth as not to damage the caliper.
• Never scratch the flare nut and the brake tube.

4.

Refill with new brake fluid and perform the air bleeding. Refer to 

BR-11, "Bleeding Brake System"

.

CAUTION:

• Never reuse drained brake fluid.
• Never spill or splash brake fluid on the disc rotor and caliper.

5.

Check a drag of front disc brake. If any drag is found, refer to 

BR-50, "BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY (4

PISTON TYPE) : Inspection"

.

< REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION >

FRONT DISC BRAKE

1.

Apply brake fluid to piston seals (1), and install them to caliper.

CAUTION:

Never reuse piston seals.

2.

Apply rubber grease to piston boots (1). Cover the piston (2) end
with piston boots, and then install caliper side lip on piston boot
securely into a groove on caliper.

CAUTION:

Never reuse piston boots.

3.

Apply brake fluid to piston. Push piston into caliper by hand and
push piston boot piston-side lip into the piston groove.

CAUTION:

Press the piston evenly and vary the pressing point to pre-
vent caliper inner wall from being rubbed.

4.

Secure piston boot with retaining ring.

CAUTION:

• Make sure that boot is securely engaged in the groove on

caliper.

• Never reuse retaining ring.

5.

Install the caliper to tighten the caliper mounting bolts to the
specified torque. Refer to 

BR-47, "BRAKE CALIPER ASSEM-

BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY (4 PISTON TYPE) : Inspection

INFOID:0000000005234208

INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY

Caliper

Check the inner wall of the caliper for rust, wear, cracks or damage. Replace the caliper if any abnormal con-
dition is detected.

CAUTION:

Always clean with new brake fluid. Never clean with mineral oil such as gasoline and light oil.

Pistons

Check the surface of the piston for rust, wear, cracks or damage. Replace the piston if any abnormal condition
is detected.

CAUTION:

A piston sliding surface is plated. Never polish with sandpaper.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

1.

Check a drag of front disc brake. If any drag is found, follow the procedure described below.

2.

Remove brake pads.

3.

Press the pistons.

CAUTION:

• Never damage the piston boot.
• When replacing a pad with new one, check a brake fluid level in the reservoir tank because brake

fluid returns to master cylinder reservoir tank when pressing piston in.
