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. Refer to

BR-31, "Brake Bur-

nishing Procedure"

REMOVAL

1. Partially drain the brake fluid. Refer to

BR-16, "Drain and Refill"

2. Remove rear wheels and tires using power tool.
3. Remove the sliding pin bolts.
4. Remove the cylinder body from the torque member, hang cylinder body with wire 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.

2. Apply Molykote 7439 grease to brake pad contact areas on knuckle.

CAUTION:

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

3. Install pads to cylinder body.

Brake Burnishing Procedure

INFOID:0000000009883558

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.

• 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.

NOTE:

When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc., cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spill-

ing.

REMOVAL

1. Remove rear wheels 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"

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
