Brake - General Maintenance

INSPECTION




1. INSPECT BRAKE LINE PIPES AND BOOTS

HINT: Inspect in a well-lighted area. Inspect the entire circumference and length of the brake hoses using a mirror as required. Turn the front wheels fully right or left before inspecting the front brake.
a. Check all brake lines and hoses for:
- Damage
- Wear
- Deformation
- Cracks
- Corrosion
- Leaks
- Bends
- Twists

b. Check all clamps for tightness and connections for leak age.
c. Check that the hoses and lines are clear of sharp edges, moving parts and the exhaust system.
d. Check that the lines installed in grommets pass through the center of the grommets.

2. INSPECT FRONT BRAKE PADS AND DISCS

HINT: If a squealing or scraping noise occurs from the brake during driving, check the pad wear indicator.

If there are traces of the indicator contacting the disc rotor, the disc pad should be replaced.

3. INSPECT REAR BRAKE LININGS AND DRUMS
