Disassembly
Frequent inhalation of brake pad dust, regardless of material composition,
could be hazardous to your health.
- Avoid breathing dust particles.
- Never use an air hose or brush to clean brake assemblies. Use an OSHA-approved
vacuum cleaner.
Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint. If brake
fluid does contact the paint, wash it off
immediately with water.
NOTE:
- Clean all parts with brake cleaner and air dry.
- Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter gets in the brake fluid.
- Make sure no grease or oil gets on the brake discs or pads.
- Do not reuse the drained brake fluid. Use only new Honda DOT 3 Brake
Fluid from an unopened
container. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and shorten the
life of the system.
- Refer to the Exploded View as needed during this procedure.
1. Brake Caliper - Disassemble
- Set the wooden block (A) or several shop towels in the caliper body (B)
as shown
- Blow out the piston with compressed air gradually, and remove the piston
from the
caliper body.
NOTE : Do not put your hand into the caliper body because the piston
will come out forcibly from the caliper body.
- Remove the piston boot (A)
- Remove the piston seal (B).
NOTE : Be careful not to damage the inner
surface of the cylinder wall with the tool.
2. Caliper Pin and Pin Boot - Remove
- Remove the caliper pin A and caliper pin B.
NOTE : The upper and lower
caliper pins are different. During installation, make sure the caliper pins
are in the
proper positions
- Remove the pin boots (C).
Reassembly
Frequent inhalation of brake pad dust, regardless of material composition,
could be hazardous to your health.
- Avoid breathing dust particles.
- Never use an air hose or brush to clean brake assemblies. Use an OSHA-approved
vacuum cleaner.
Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint. If brake
fluid does contact the paint, wash it off
immediately with water.
NOTE:
- Clean all parts with brake cleaner and air dry.
- Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of dirt and other
foreign particles.
- Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter gets in the brake fluid.
- Make sure no grease or oil gets on the brake discs or pads.
- Do not reuse the drained brake fluid. Use only new Honda DOT 3 Brake
Fluid from an unopened
container. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and shorten the
life of the system.
- Coat the piston, the piston seal groove, and the caliper bore with clean
brake fluid.
- Use recommended greases in the front caliper set.
- After installing the caliper, check the brake hose and line for leaks,
interference, and twisting.
- Refer to the Exploded View as needed during this procedure.
1. Caliper Pin and Pin Boot - Install
- Apply a thin coat of Honda caliper grease (P/N 08C30- B0224M) to caliper
pin A,
caliper pin B, and the new pin boots (C)
- Install the pin boots
- Install the caliper pins.
NOTE :
- Make sure that the caliper pins are installed correctly. The upper
caliper pin and the lower caliper pin are different. If these caliper
pins are installed in the wrong
location, it will cause vibration, uneven or rapid brake pad wear, and
possibly
uneven tire wear.
- Make sure that the pin boots are properly positioned into the
grooves of the caliper
pin and the grooves of the caliper bracket.
- Remove air from within the pin boots.
2. Brake Caliper - Reassemble
- Apply a thin coat of Honda silicone grease (P/N 08C30- B0234M)
to the new piston seal (A)
- Install the piston seal
- Apply a thin coat of Honda silicone grease (P/N 08C30- B0234M)
to the new piston boot (B)
- Install the piston boot.
- Apply brake fluid to the outer surface of the piston, then set the
pistons in place on the caliper body
- Install the brake caliper piston compressor tool (A) on the caliper
body (B)
- Press in the piston with the brake caliper piston compressor
tool.
NOTE :
- Make sure that the piston boot is properly positioned into the
groove of the piston.
- Do not press the piston diagonally, and do not press it forcibly.
- Be careful not to damage the piston boot when pressing in the
piston.
