INSTALLATION
1. Install the disc rotor.
2. Install the support.
Tightening torque: 78 Nm (8 kgf-m, 58 ft. lbs.)

CAUTION:
- Always replace the pads for both the left and right wheels at the same time. Also replace pad clips if they are twisted or worn.
- A wear indicator is provided on the inner disc brake pad. If the pad wears down to such an extent that the end of the wear indicator contacts the disc rotor, a squeaking sound is produced as the wheel rotates. If this sound is heard, replace the pad.
- When replacing the pad, replace pads of the left and right wheels at the same time.

3. Install the pads and the caliper body.
