WARNING: Clean dust on cylinder and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of airborne particles or other materials.

CAUTION:
^ While removing cylinder body never depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
^ It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or replacement of cylinder body. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so as not to stretch brake hose.
^ Do not damage piston boot.
^ Burnish brake contact surface after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to "BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE".
