WARNING: Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of air borne particles or other materials.
CAUTION:
While removing caliper, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, hang caliper with a wire so as not to stretch brake hose.
Do not damage piston boot.
If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.
Always replace shim and shim cover as a set when replacing brake pads.
Hang caliper with a suitable wire, and remove pads, pad retainers, shims, and shim cover from torque member.
CAUTION: When removing the pad retainer from the torque member, lift it in the direction indicated by the arrow as shown so that it does not deform.
INSTALLATION
Apply Molykote M-77 grease or equivalent between the outer shim cover and shim; and the inner multilayered shim and inner pad. Install outer shim, outer shim cover to outer pad, and inner multilayered shim to inner pad.
Apply Molykote 7439 grease or equivalent between pad retainers and pad ends. Install pad retainers and pads on torque member.
CAUTION:
Securely assemble pad retainers so that they are not being lifted up from torque member.
Both inner and outer pads have a pad return system on the pad retainer. Install pad return lever securely to pad wear sensor.
Install caliper over assembled pads on to the torque member.
CAUTION: When replacing a pad with new one, check brake fluid level in the reservoir tank because brake fluid returns to master cylinder reservoir tank when pressing in the piston.
NOTE:
Use a disc brake piston tool (commercial service tool) to easily press in the piston.
Install lower sliding pin bolt, and tighten it to the specified torque. Refer to See: Exploded View.
