Caution: Refer to Brake Dust Caution (See: Service Precautions/Technician Safety Information/Brake Dust Caution) .
Notice: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from its mount and the hydraulic flexible

may cause damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak.
