CAUTION: Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of dust and other foreign particles. Replace parts with new ones whenever specified to do so.

Use only clean DOT 4 brake fluid.

Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter is allowed to contaminate the brake fluid.

Do not mix different brands of brake fluid as they may not be compatible.

Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the paintwork as it will cause surface damage. If brake fluid is spilled on the paintwork, wash it off immediately with water.

  1. Replace the brake hose if the hose is twisted, cracked or if it leaks.
