REMOVAL

WARNING:

Since dust covering the front and rear brakes 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.

• If the brake fluid or grease adheres to the brake caliper assembly and disc rotor, quickly wipe it off.

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.

Remove the brake pads, shims, shim covers and pad retainer (as a set with pad return spring) from the torque member .

CAUTION:

• Remove pad retainer together with pad return springs.

• Never deform the pad return springs and pad retainer when removing the pad retainer from the torque member.

• Never damage the piston boots.

• Never drop the brake pads, shims and shim covers.

Perform inspection after installation. Refer to Inspection.

Install tires. Refer to Removal & Installation.

Inspection

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

• Replace the shims and shim covers if rust is excessively attached.

• Eliminate rust on the pad return spring, pad retainers and the torque member. Replace them if rust is excessively attached.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

• Check a drag of front disc brake. If any drag is found, follow the procedure described below.

Remove brake pads. Refer to Removal and Installation.

Press the pistons. Refer to Removal and Installation.

Install brake pads. Refer to Removal and Installation.

Depress the brake pedal several times.
