Assembly
WARNING:
^
Never use an air hose or dry brush to clean brake assemblies.
^
Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner to avoid breathing brake dust.
^
Contaminated brake discs or pads reduce stopping ability.
^
When reusing the pads, always reinstall the brake pads the their original positions to prevent loss of braking efficiency.
CAUTION:
^
Do not spill brake fluid on the car; it may damage the paint: if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off immediately with water.
^
To prevent spills, cover the hose joints with rags or shop towels.
^
Clean all parts in brake fluid and air dry; blow out all passages with compressed air.

Replace parts with new ones whenever specified to do so.
