FRONT DISC BRAKE:

Pad Replacement
REMOVAL

WARNING: Clean brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of airborne particles or other materials.

CAUTION: When cylinder body is open, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
Be careful not to damage piston boot or get oil on rotor always replace shims in replacing pads.
If shims are rusted or show peeling of rubber coat, replace them with new shims.
It is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, suspend cylinder body with wire so as not to stretch brake hose.
Carefully monitor brake fluid level because brake fluid will return to reservoir when pushing back piston.
Burnish brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.







1. Remove master cylinder reservoir cap.
2. Remove lower sliding pin bolt.







3. Hang cylinder body with a wire, and remove pads, pad retainers, shims from torque member.







CAUTION: When removing pad retainer from torque member, lift pad retainer in the direction shown by arrow (shown in the figure) so as not to deform it.
Do not damage piston boot.
Keep brake fluid clean of rotor.

FRONT DISC BRAKE:

INSTALLATION
1. Apply brake grease to the back of pad and both sides of shim, install inner shim to inner pad, and outer shim and outer shim cover to outer pad.
2. Apply disc brake grease to pad contact surface on pad retainer, and install pad retainers and pads to torque member.

CAUTION: The CLZ31VA inner pad and outer pad have pad-return mechanism on upper side of pad retainer. When installing CLZ31VA pad to torque member, be sure to install pad return lever to pad wear sensor securely.

3. Install cylinder body to torque member.

CAUTION: When replacing pads with new ones, press in piston until pads can be installed. In this case, carefully monitor brake fluid level in reservoir tank because brake fluid will return to reservoir tank of master cylinder.







4. Install lower sliding pin bolt, and tighten it to the specified torque.
5. Check brake for drag.
