^ The tightening torque of the brake lines is 15 Nm.
^ Check that the brake caliper moves freely by moving it from side to side.

^ If repair work is necessary, do not hang by brake hose. Secure to vehicle using wire
^ Aside from "Replacing brake pads" and "Front brake caliper, servicing" no other repairs may be performed to the brake caliper
^ Hose must be attached without twisting

15. Retaining spring
^ Pay attention to correct installation position.
^ Engage retaining spring on both studs of brake caliper housing and on the outer pad.

Note: Retaining spring must be pressed under brake carrier after it is inserted in both holes. If the spring is improperly installed, the brake caliper cannot adjust to compensate for wear on the outer brake pad. This will cause the brake pedal travel to increase.
