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. Partially drain the brake fluid. Refer to 

BR-16, "Drain and Refill"

.

2. Remove rear wheel and tires using power tool.
3. Remove the sliding pin.
4. Remove the cylinder body and remove pads. 

INSTALLATION

1. Push piston in using a suitable tool.

CAUTION:

By pushing in piston, 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 piston.

2. Apply Molykote 7439 grease to knuckle slide where brake pad contacts the slipper and the piston face.

CAUTION:

Do not get grease on the brake pads or brake rotor friction surfaces.

3. Install pads to cylinder body.
4. Install cylinder body to torque member. 
5. Install sliding pin bolts and tighten to specification.
6. Check rear disc brake for drag and correct as necessary.
7. Install rear wheel and tires.
8. Check brake fluid level. Refer to 

BR-16, "On Board Inspection"

Brake Burnishing Procedure

INFOID:0000000006163300

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.

REMOVAL

1. Remove rear wheel and tires using power tool.
2. Fasten disc rotor using wheel nut.
3. Drain brake fluid as necessary. Refer to 

BR-16, "Drain and Refill"

.

4. Remove brake hose (A) from brake piping and cylinder body.

Refer to 

BR-23, "Removal and Installation of Rear Brake Piping

and Brake Hose"

.

NOTE:

Discard the copper washer, do not reuse.

5. Remove sliding pin bolts (1) as shown, and remove cylinder

body (2).

6. Apply matching marks to disc rotor and wheel hub assembly if the disc rotor is to be reused, then remove

disc rotor.

CAUTION:

Put matching marks on wheel hub assembly and disc rotor if the disc rotor is to be reused. 

INSTALLATION

1. If reusing the disc rotor, use the matching marks to align disc rotor on the wheel hub assembly, then install

disc rotor using a wheel nut to hold it in place.

CAUTION:

Use matching marks on wheel hub assembly and disc rotor if the disc rotor is to be reused.
