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 caliper, 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 caliper 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 covers 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. Refer to 

BR-29, "BRAKE

PAD : Brake Burnishing Procedure"

2. Remove upper sliding pin bolt (A) and swing the caliper out and

support it with a suitable wire.

CAUTION:

Do not twist or stretch the brake hose.

3. Remove pads, pad retainers and multilayered shims 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. Apply Molykote M-77 grease or equivalent to between multilayered shims and brake pads. Install inner

multilayered shim to inner pad, and outer multilayered shim to outer pad.

2. Apply Molykote 7439 grease (A) to the pad retainer as shown.

3. Attach pad retainers to torque member, then install brake pads

and multilayered shim assemblies.

CAUTION:

When attaching pad retainer, attach it firmly so that it is

flush with torque member as shown.

4. Press in piston until pads can be installed, and then install caliper to torque member.

CAUTION:

In the case of 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 (commercial service tool) to easily press piston.
