REMOVAL

WARNING:

Clean dust on brake caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazards of airborne particles or other material.

CAUTION:

• Do not depress the brake pedal while removing the brake pads because the pistons may pop out.

• It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or replacement of brake caliper. For brake pad removal, hang brake caliper with a wire so as not to stretch brake hose.

• If brake fluid or grease adheres to the brake caliper or disc brake rotor, quickly wipe it off.

• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

Observe brake fluid level in the sub tank. Partially drain brake fluid if necessary. Refer to Drain and Refill.

Remove the front wheels and tires using power tool.

Remove slide pin bolts.

Remove the brake caliper from the torque member. Leaving brake hose attached, reposition the brake caliper aside with wire.

Remove the brake pads, shims, shim covers, pad retainers, and anti-rattle clips from the torque member.

CAUTION:

• Do not reuse the pad retainers and anti-rattle clips.

• Do not damage the piston boot.

• Do not drop the brake pads, shims, or the shim covers.

• Note the position of components during removal to aid with installation.

Compress the front caliper pistons.

INSTALLATION

Install the new pad retainers and anti-rattle clips to the torque member.

CAUTION:

• Do not reuse the pad retainers and anti-rattle clips.

• Do not deform the pad retainers.

• Verify that the pad retainers are secured properly to the torque member.

Apply Molykote® AS-880N grease to the mating faces between the inner shim, inner shim cover, outer shim and outer shim cover and install them to the brake pad. Refer to Exploded View.

CAUTION:

When installing new brake pads, replace the shims and shim covers.

Install the brake pads to the torque member.

Using a suitable tool, press the pistons into the brake caliper.

CAUTION:

Do not damage the piston boot.

Install the brake caliper to the torque member.

Install the slide pin bolts and tighten to specification. Refer to Exploded View.

Depress the brake pedal several times and verify that drag does not exist.

Install the front wheels and tires. Refer to Removal and Installation.

Check brake fluid level and refill as necessary. Refer to Inspection.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Remove brake pads.

Using a suitable tool, press the pistons into the brake caliper body.

CAUTION:

Do not damage the piston boots.

Install brake pads.
