Front Disc Brake Caliper












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


CAUTION:
^ While removing caliper 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 caliper body. In this case, hang caliper body with a wire so as not to stretch the brake hose.
^ Do not damage the piston boot.
^ If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace with a new one.
^ Always replace shim and shim cover as a set when replacing brake pads.
^ Keep rotor free from brake fluid.
^ Burnish the brake contact surface after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
