Front Brake Caliper Removal and Installation
NOTE
The right and left calipers are installed
symmetrically and therefore the removal
procedure for one side is the same as that for
the other side.
Removal
1) Drain brake fluid. Refer to "Brake Fluid Replacement
in Section 4A (Page 4A-6)".
2) Remove the brake hose from the caliper by
removing the union 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.
3) Remove the caliper by removing the caliper
mounting bolts (2).

• Bleed air from the brake system after installing the
caliper. Refer to "Air Bleeding from Brake Fluid Circuit
in Section 4A (Page 4A-4)".
• Check the brake fluid leakage and brake operation.

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.
