Reassembly
CAUTION:
• Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of
dust and other foreign particles.
• Replace parts with new ones whenever specified to
do so.
• Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using
a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and
decrease the life of the system.
• Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter is allowed
to contaminate the brake fluid.
• Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage
the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash
it off immediately with water.
1. Clean the pistons and caliper bores with brake fluid,
and inspect for wear and damage.
2. Apply silicone grease to new piston seals, then
install the piston seals in the cylinder grooves.
3. Apply silicone grease to new piston boots, then
install the piston boots in the cylinder grooves.
4. Lubricate the caliper cylinders and pistons with
brake fluid, then install the pistons in the cylinders
with the dished end facing in.
5. Reinstall the caliper in the reverse order of removal.
Always reinstall the brake pads in their
original positions to prevent loss of braking efficiency.
6. Fill the brake reservoir up, and bleed the brake sys-
tem (see page 19-11).
