Refer to "COMPONENTS " and the followings for the symbols in the figure.

1: Apply rubber grease.

2: Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or silicone-based grease.

3: Apply polyglycol ether based lubricant.

: Apply brake fluid.

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

CAUTION:

While removing cylinder body, do not 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 assembly. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so as not to stretch brake hose.
Do not damage piston boot.
If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it 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 pads and disc rotor mutually contacting surfaces, after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to "BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE ".
