Rear Brake Caliper - Acura 3.5 RL Manual

Rear Brake Caliper

Disassembly/Reassembly
Never use an air hose or dry brush to clean brake assemblies.
Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner to avoid breathing brake dust.
Contaminated brake discs or pads reduce stopping ability.
When reusing the pads, always reinstall the brake pads in their original positions to prevent loss of braking efficiency.
CAUTION:
Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off imme-
diately with water.
To prevent spills, cover the hose joints with rags or shop towels.
Clean all parts in brake fluid and air dry; blow out all passages with compressed air.
Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of dust and other foreign particles.
Replace parts with new ones whenever specified to do so.
Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter is allowed to contaminate the brake fluid.
Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the
life of the system.
NOTE:
Coat the piston, piston seal, and caliper bore with clean brake fluid.
Replace all rubber parts with new ones whenever disassembled.
After installing the rear brake caliper:
— Check for leaks at hose and line joints and connections, and retighten if necessary.
— Check the brake hoses for interference and twisting.
