7. Clean the caliper bracket (B) thoroughly; remove any rust, and check for grooves and cracks.
8. Inspect the brake disc, and check for damage and cracks.
9. Install the pad retainers. Wipe excess assembly paste off the retainers. Keep the assembly paste off the discs and pads.
10. Mount the brake caliper piston compressor (A) on the caliper body (B).
11. Press in the piston with the brake caliper piston compressor so the caliper will fit over the brake pads. Make sure the piston boot is in position to
prevent damaging it when pivoting the caliper down.
NOTE: Be careful when pressing in the piston; brake fluid might overflow from the master cylinder's reservoir. If brake fluid gets on any painted
surface, wash it off immediately with water.
12. Remove the brake caliper piston compressor.
13. Apply a thin coat of M-77 assembly paste (P/N 08798-9010) to the pad side of the shims (A), the back of the brake pads (B) and the other areas
indicated by the arrows. Wipe excess assembly paste off the pad shims and brake pads. Contaminated brake discs or brake pads reduce stopping
ability. Keep grease and assembly paste off the brake discs and brake pads.
14. Install the brake pads and pad shims correctly. Install the brake pad with the wear indicator (C) on the upper inside. If you are reusing the brake
pads, always reinstall the brake pads in their original positions to prevent a momentary loss of braking efficiency.
