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; blow out all passages
with compressed air.
- 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.
- Unless otherwise indicated, illustrations used in the procedure are for
2WD model.

- 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 while applying air to
the brake fluid piston port as injury may occur.

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; blow out all passages
with compressed air.
- 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.
- Use recommended greases in the rear 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.
- Unless otherwise indicated, illustrations used in the procedure are for
2WD model.
