REMOVAL

Frequent inhalation of brake pad dust, regardless of material composition, could be hazardous to your health.

• Avoid breathing dust particles.
• Never use on air hose or brush to clean brake assemblies.

1. Loosen the front wheel nuts slightly. Raise the front of the vehicle, and make sure it is securely supported. Remove

the front wheels.

2. Remove the guide rod bolt (B), After raise the caliper assembly (A), support it with a wire.

3. Remove pad shim (A), pad retainer (B) and pad assembly (C) in the caliper bracket.

INSTALLATION

1. Install the pad retainers (A) on the caliper bracket.

2. Install pad shims (A) and the brake pads (B) with the wear indicator on the inside.

If you are reusing the pads, always reinstall the brake pads in their original positions to prevent a momentary
loss of braking efficiency.

3. Insert the piston in the cylinder using the special tool (09581-11000).

4. Push in the piston (A) so that the caliper will fit over the pads. Make sure that the piston boot is in position to

prevent damaging it when pivoting the caliper down.

5. Being careful not to damage the pin boot, install the guide rod bolt (B) with the specified torque.

6. If caliper assembly was removed, install the brake hose to the caliper.

7. Refill the master cylinder reservoir to the MAX line.

8. Bleed the brake system.(Refer to 'Bleeding of ABS system')

9. Depress the brake pedal several times to make sure the brakes work, then test-drive.

Engagement of the brake may require a greater pedal stroke immediately after the brake pads have been
replaced as a set. Several applications of the brake will restore the normal pedal stroke.
