Front Brake Pads Removal - Triumph T595 DAYTONA Service Manual

NOTE:
• During bleeding, do not allow the fluid level to
fall below the lower level mark in the reservoir. If
the level is allowed to fall below this mark, air
may enter the system and the sequence of
bleeding must be repeated.
10. Slowly pull the brake lever to the handlebar and,
holding the lever fully in, close the bleed nipple.
Repeat steps 9 and 10 until no more air appears
in the bleed tube.
11. Maintain the brake fluid level between the upper
and lower reservoir levels whilst bleeding is being
carried out.
12. When all air has been expelled from the system,
hold the lever in and close the bleed nipple.
Tighten the nipple to 7 Nm.
13. Fill the reservoir to the upper level with new DOT
4 fluid.
WARNING: Use only D.O.T. 4
specification brake fluid as listed in the
general information section of this manual. The
use of brake fluids other than those D.O.T. 4 fluids
listed in the general information section may
reduce the efficiency of the braking system
leading to an accident.
Observe the brake fluid handling warnings given
earlier in this section of the manual.
14. Remove the transparent bleed tube.
15. Replace the bleed nipple cap.
16. Repeat the procedure for the left—hand caliper.
17. Refit the reservoir cover and diaphragm. Refit the
safety clip and screw.
WARNING: Always return the lever
adjuster to the original setting as noted in
paragraph 1. Operating the motorcycle with lever
settings which are unfamiliar may lead to loss of
control or an accident.
18. Reset the brake lever adjuster to the original
setting.
19. Check that the brake operates correctly.

1. Retaining Pin
2. Anti—rattle Spring
3. Brake Pads
1. Remove the brake pad retaining pin after
removing and discarding its split pin. Inspect the
retaining pin for damage.
2. Remove the anti—rattle spring and inspect the
spring for damage.
CAUTION: Never lever directly against
• the disc, caliper or the pad lining material
as this will damage these components. Always use
a levering tool made from a soft material which will
not cause damage to the load bearing surfaces.
Brake fluid will be displaced as the caliper pistons
are compressed. To prevent body damage, ensure
that the displaced fluid does not come into contact
with any part of the bodywork.
3. Carefully push the brake pads apart to force the
caliper pistons back and allow withdrawal of the
pads.
4. Remove both brake pads and inspect for damage
and wear beyond the service limit.
NOTE:
• Complete the assembly of the brake pads to one
caliper (see assembly for details) before
removing the pads from the other caliper.
