Removal

WARNING: Brake pads must be renewed in axle sets only, otherwise braking efficiency may be impaired.

WARNING: Do not allow dirt or foreign liquids to enter the reservoir. Use only new brake fluid of the correct specification from airtight containers. Do not mix brands of brake fluid as they may not be compatible.

WARNING: Failure to release the tension and calibrate the electric parking brake during rear parking brake related service procedures, could cause the parking brake to function incorrectly or become inoperative.

NOTE: Only extraction bolt from special tool 303-588 is used.

Installation

1. WARNING: Do not use compressed air to clean brake components. Dust from friction materials can be harmful if inhaled.

Clean the caliper housings and anchor plates, using brake cleaning fluid.

> Repeat the above procedure for the other side.

2. CAUTION: As the piston is pushed back into the caliper housing, the brake fluid level in the reservoir will rise. Do not allow the reservoir to overflow.

CAUTION: Brake fluid will damage paint finished surfaces. If spilled, immediately remove the fluid and clean the area with water.

Using the special tools, fully retract the brake caliper piston.
