Front Brake Caliper Overhaul
Remove, disassemble, inspect, reassemble, and install the caliper, and note these items:
-
Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if brake fluid gets on the paint, wash it off immediately with water.
-
To prevent dripping, cover disconnected hose joints with rags or shop towels. Clean all parts in brake fluid and air dry; blow out all passages with
compressed air.
-
Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of dirt and other foreign particles.
-
Replace parts with new ones as specified in the illustration.
-
Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter gets in the brake fluid.
-
Make sure no grease or oil gets on the brake discs or pads.
-
When reusing pads, always reinstall them in their original positions to prevent loss of braking efficiency. Do not reuse drained brake fluid. Use
only clean Honda DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and shorten the life of the system.
-
Coat the piston, piston seal groove, and caliper bore with clean brake fluid.
-
Replace all rubber parts with new ones.
-
After installing the caliper,check the brake hose and line for leaks, interference, and twisting.
