Removal and Installation of Brake Pads

INFOID:0000000005147913

WARNING:

Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of air borne

particles or other materials.

CAUTION:

• While removing cylinder body, do not 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 assembly. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so as not to stretch

brake hose.

• Do not damage 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 brake fluid.

• Burnish the brake pads and disc rotor mutually contacting surfaces, after refinishing or replacing

rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.

REMOVAL

1. Remove front wheel and tires. Refer to 

WT-49, "Rotation"

.

2. Partially drain some brake fluid from the reservoir.
3. Remove the sliding pin bolts.

4. Hang cylinder body with a wire, and remove pads, pad retainers,

shims, and shim cover from torque member.

CAUTION:

When removing the pad retainer from the torque member,

lift it in the direction indicated by the arrow as shown so

that it does not deform.

INSTALLATION

1. Push pistons in using suitable tool.

CAUTION:

By pushing in pistons, brake fluid returns to master cylinder reservoir tank. Watch the brake fluid

level in the reservoir tank.

NOTE:

Using a suitable tool, makes it easier to push in the pistons.

2. Apply Molykote M-77 grease or equivalent to between shim cover and shim. Install outer shim, outer shim

cover to inner pad, and inner multi-layered shim to outer pad.

3. Apply Molykote M-77 grease or equivalent to between pad retainer and pad. Install pad retainers and pads

to torque member.

4. Apply Molykote M-77 grease or equivalent to the piston face.

Install pad return lever securely to pad wear sensor as shown.

CAUTION:

• Securely assemble pad retainers so that they are not

being lifted up from torque member.

• Both inner and outer pads have a pad return system on

the pad retainer. Install pad return lever securely to pad

wear sensor.

5. Install pads to cylinder body.
6. Install cylinder body to torque member.

CAUTION:

In the case of replacing a pad with new one, check the brake fluid level in the reservoir tank

because brake fluid returns to reservoir tank when pressing piston in.

NOTE:

Use a suitable tool to easily press piston. 

7. Apply rubber grease and install sliding pin bolts, and tighten to the specified torque. Refer to 

BR-31,

"Exploded View of Brake Caliper"

.

8. Check front disc brake for drag.
9. Install front wheel and tires. Refer to 

WT-49, "Rotation"

.

Brake Burnishing Procedure

INFOID:0000000005147914

Burnish contact surfaces between disc rotors and pads according to following procedure after refinishing or

replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.

CAUTION:

• Be careful of vehicle speed because the brake does not operate easily until pad and disc rotor are

securely seated.

• Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.

1. Drive vehicle on straight, flat road. 

2. Depress brake pedal with the power to stop vehicle within 3 to 5 seconds until the vehicle stops.

3. Drive without depressing brake for a few minutes to cool the brake.

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until pad and disc rotor are securely seated.
