DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY

CAUTION: Take care not to contact the parts or tools to the caliper because the paint of caliper will be scratched. And if there is brake fluid on the caliper, wipe it off quickly.

DISASSEMBLY SERVICE POINTS

CAUTION: Take care not to contact the parts or tools to the caliper because the paint of caliper will be scratched. And if there is brake fluid on the caliper, wipe it off quickly. When disassembling the disc brakes, disassemble both sides (left and right) as a set.

<> PISTON BOOT/PISTON REMOVAL

CAUTION: Do not remove one piston completely before trying to remove the other piston, because it will become impossible to remove other pistons.

Remove the pistons by pumping in air slowly from the brake hose connection. Be sure to use a wood block and adjust the height of the four pistons so that the pistons protrude evenly.

<> PISTON SEAL REMOVAL

CAUTION: To prevent damage to inner cylinder, do not use a flat tipped screwdriver or other tool.

1. Remove the piston seal with finger tip.
2. Clean the piston surface and inner cylinder with alcohol or brake fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4.

INSPECTION
^ Check the cylinder for wear, damage or rust.
^ Check the piston surface for wear, damage or rust.
^ Check the caliper body for wear.
^ Check the pad for damage or adhesion of grease, check the backing metal for damage.

PAD WEAR CHECK

WARNING:
^ Always replace both brake pads on each wheel as a set front wheels or both rear wheels). Failure to do so will result in uneven braking, which may cause unreliable brake operation.
^ If there is significant difference in the thickness of the pads on the left and right sides, check the moving parts.

Measure thickness at the thinnest, most worn area of the pad. Replace the pad assembly if pad thickness is less than the limit value.
Standard value: 10.0 mm (0.39 inch)
Minimum limit: 2.0 mm (0.08 inch)
