REMOVAL

WARNING:

Since dust covering the front brake has an affect on human body, the dust must be removed with a
dust collector. Never splatter the dust with an air blow gun.

CAUTION:

• Never depress the brake pedal while removing the brake pads because the piston may pop out.
• Never spill or splash brake fluid on the disc rotor.

Remove tires with power tool.

Remove lower sliding pin bolt.

Suspend the cylinder body with suitable wire so that the brake hose will not stretch. Then remove the
brake pads, shims and shim cover from the torque member.

CAUTION:

• Never reuse the pad retainers when removed the pad retainers from the torque member.
• Never damage the piston boot.
• Never drop the brake pads, shims, and the shim cover.
• Remember each position of the removed brake pads.

• Never spill or splash brake fluid on the disc rotor.

Install the pad retainer to the torque member if the pad retainers has been removed.

CAUTION:

• Never reuse the pad retainers.
• Securely assemble the pad retainers so that it will not be lifted up from the torque member.
• Never deform the pad retainers.
• Eliminate double-faced adhesive tape on torque member.
• Remove adhesive's protective liner on pad retainers.

Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or silicone-based grease to the mating faces between the brake
pads and pad retainers.

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.

NOTE:
Use a disc brake piston tool to easily press piston.

Install the lower sliding pin bolt and tighten it to the specified torque.
