BRAKE PAD : Removal and Installation


REMOVAL


WARNING:
Since dust covering the rear brake has an affect on human body, the dust must be removed with a dust collector. Never splatter the dust with an air blow gun.

CAUTION:
- Never depress the brake pedal while removing the brake pads or the cylinder body because the piston may pop out.
- Never spill or splash brake fluid on the disc rotor.
1.Remove tires with power tool.
2.Remove the upper sliding pin bolt.
3.Suspend the cylinder body with a wire so that the brake hose will not stretch. Remove the brake pads, shims, shim cover and pad retainers from the torque member.

CAUTION:
- Never deform the pad retainers if removing the pad retainers.
- Never damage the piston boot.
- Never drop the brake pad, shims, and the shim cover.
- Remember each position of removed brake pads.

INSTALLATION


WARNING:
Since dust covering the rear brake has an affect on human body, the dust must be removed with a dust collector. Never splatter the dust with an air blow gun.

CAUTION:
- Never depress the brake pedal while removing the brake pads or the cylinder body because the piston may pop out.
- Never spill or splash brake fluid on the disc rotor.
1.Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or silicone-based grease to the pad retainers before installing it to the torque member if the pad retainers has been removed.

CAUTION:
- Securely assemble the pad retainers so that it will not be lifted up from the torque member.
- Never deform the pad retainers.
2.Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or silicone-based grease to the mating faces between the shims and the shim cover and install them to the brake pad.

CAUTION:
Always replace the shims together with the shim cover when replacing the brake pad.
3.Install cylinder body and brake pads to torque member.

CAUTION:
- Never damage the piston boot.
- When of replacing brake pad with new one, check a brake fluid level in the reservoir tank because brake fluid returns to master cylinder reservoir tank when pressing piston in.
NOTE:
Use a disc brake piston tool to easily press piston.
4.Install the upper sliding pin bolt and tighten it to the specified torque.
5.Depress the brake pedal several times to check that no drag feel is present for the rear disc brake. Inspection.
