1. Remove tires with power tool.
2. Remove lower sliding pin bolt.
3. Suspend the cylinder body with suitable wire so that the brake hose will not stretch. Then remove the brake pads, shims, shim covers and pad
retainers from the torque member.
CAUTION:
-
Never deform the pad retainer when removing the pad retainer from the torque member.
-
Never damage the piston boot.

INSTALLATION
WARNING:
Clean any dust from the brake caliper and brake pads with a vacuum dust collector. Never blow with compressed air.

2. Apply copper based brake grease to the mating faces between the shim and shim cover, and install them to the brake pad.
CAUTION:
Always replace the shims and shim covers when replacing the brake pad.
3. Install the brake pads to the torque member.
CAUTION:
Both inner and outer pads have a pad return system on the pad retainer. Install pad return lever (1) securely to pad wear sensor (2).
4. Install cylinder body to torque member.
CAUTION:
-
