Rear Brake Caliper Removal and Installation

Rear Brake Caliper Removal and Installation

WARNING:

Remove flexible hose washers cannot assure adequate sealing. If the washer is reused, brake fluid may leak, which could result an accident.

Always use new flexible hose washer when reinstalling the flexible hose.

NOTE:

- Brake fluid is extremely damaging to painted surfaces.
If brake fluid contacts a painted surface, immediately wipe it off and flush the surface thoroughly with water.
- Failure to take proper precautions during brake caliper removal may cause damage to the brake flexible hose and/or the brake piston.

- Be careful not to damage the brake flexible hose during brake caliper removal.
- Avoid depressing the brake pedal during the brake caliper removal procedure to prevent the brake piston from being forced out of the cylinder.
