Removal
WARNING: Clean brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of airborne particles or other materials.
1. Remove brake cable mounting bolt and lock spring.
2. Release parking brake control lever, then disconnect cable from the caliper.
3. Remove torque member fixing bolts and connecting bolt.
It is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, suspend caliper assembly with wire so as not to stretch brake hose.
Installation
CAUTION:
- Refill with new brake fluid "DOT 3".
- Never reuse drained brake fluid.
1. Install caliper assembly.
- As shown in the figure, align the piston's concave to the pad's convex, then install the cylinder body to the torque member.
2. Install brake hose to caliper securely.
3. Install all parts and secure all bolts.
4. Bleed air.
CAUTION: The pad retainer is built so the pad returns to its original position. Be careful to install the pad so the pad-return lever is against the inner side of the pad, as shown in the left figure.
