WARNING: Do not re-use fasteners that are worn or deformed in normal use.
Some fasteners are designed to be used only once, and are unreliable and may fall if used a second time. This includes, but is not
limited to, nuts, bolts, washers, circlips and cotter pins. Always follow recommendations in this manual-replace these fasteners

Brake fluid is poisonous and must NEVER be removed by siphoning with your mouth.
