REMOVAL

CAUTION

Blow air little by little to remove the piston. The piston will
pop out if a force of air is applied suddenly.
Place a piece of wood, etc. against the caliper body as shown.
Blow compressed air through the brake hose connection hole
to remove the piston boot and piston.

.

<<B>> PISTON SEAL REMOVAL

CAUTION

Do not use a flat-tipped screwdriver or similar tool to
remove piston seal. These may damage the inner side of
the cylinder.
1. Remove the piston seal with your finger tip.
2. Clean piston surface and inner cylinder with alcohol or brake

fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4.

PAD WEAR CHECK

WARNING

•

Always replace both brake pads on each wheel as
a set (both front wheels or both rear wheels). Fail-
ure to do so will result in uneven braking, which
may cause unreliable brake operation.

•

If there is significant difference in the thickness of
the pads on the left and right sides, check the slid-
ing condition of the piston and slide pins.

1. Measure thickness at the thinnest and most worn area of the

pad.

Standard value: 10 mm (0.39 inch)
Minimum limit: 2.0 mm (0.08 inch)

2. Replace the pad assembly if pad thickness is less than the

limit value.
