Removal
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.
1. Brake Fluid - Remove
- Remove some brake fluid from the master cylinder reservoir.
2. Vehicle - Lift
3. Front Wheels - Remove
4. Brake Pad - Remove
- Remove the flange bolt (A) while holding the caliper pin (B) with a
wrench.
NOTE : Be careful not to damage the pin boot
- Pivot the caliper body (C) up out of the way.
NOTE : Check the hose and
the pin boots for damage and deterioration.
- Remove the pad shims (A) and the brake pads (B).
5. Brake Pad Retainer - Remove
- Remove the pad retainers (A)
- Clean the caliper bracket (B) thoroughly; remove any rust, and
check for grooves and cracks

Installation
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.
1. Brake Pad Retainer - Install
- Apply a thin coat of M-77 assembly paste (P/N 08798- 9010) to the
retainer
mating surface of the caliper bracket (indicated by the arrows)
- Install the pad retainers (A)
- Wipe off the excess grease from the retainers. Keep the grease away from
the brake disc and the brake pads.
2. Brake Pad - Install
- 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 : Be careful
when pressing in the piston; brake fluid might overflow from the master
cylinder's
reservoir. If brake fluid gets on any painted surface, wash it off
immediately with water
- Remove the brake caliper piston compressor tool.
- Apply a thin coat of M-77 assembly paste (P/N 08798- 9010) to the pad
side of the
shims (A), the back of the brake pads (B), and the other areas indicated by
the arrows
- Wipe off the excess grease from the pad shims and the brake pads
friction material.
Keep grease away from the brake disc and brake pads. Contaminated brake disc
or brake pads reduce stopping ability
- Install the brake pads and the pad shims correctly. Install the brake
pad with the wear
indicator (C) on the upper inside position.
NOTE : If you are reusing the brake pads,
always reinstall the brake pads in their original positions to prevent a
temporary loss of
braking efficiency.
Fig. 14: Brake Caliper Mounting Bolt Torque Specifications
- Pivot the caliper body (A) down into position
- Install the flange bolt (B), and tighten it to the specified torque
while holding the caliper pin (C) with a
wrench.
NOTE : Be careful not to damage the pin boot.
3. Front Wheels - Install
4. Brake Fluid - Refill
