Pad Replacement
WARNING: Clean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of airborne particles or other materials.
CAUTION: When cylinder body is open, do not depress brake pedal, or piston will pop out.
Be careful not to damage piston boot or get oil on rotor. Always replace shims when replacing pads.
If shims are rusted or show peeling of the rubber coat, replace them with new shims.
It is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, suspend cylinder
body with wire so as not to stretch brake hose.
Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at
very low mileage.
1. Remove reservoir cap.
2. Remove lower main pin bolt.
