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.
-
Carefully monitor brake fluid level because brake fluid will return to reservoir when pushing back piston.
