CALIPER REMOVAL AND DISASSEMBLY

bolt 1 and catch the brake fluid in a suitable receptacle.
NOTE:
Place a rag underneath the union bolt on the brake caliper to
catch any spilt brake fluid.
• Remove the brake caliper by removing the caliper mounting
bolts 2.
NOTE:
Slightly loosen the caliper housing bolts before removing the
caliper mounting bolts to facilitate later disassembly.

Never reuse the brake fluid left over from previous ser-
vicing and stored for long periods of time.

Brake fluid, if it leaks, will interfere with safe running
and discolor painted surfaces. Check the brake hose
and hose joints for cracks and fluid leakage.
• Remove the brake pads. ( 6-61)

bolts.
