When installing the wheel carefully fit the
brake disc (for Disc) between the brake
pads to avoid damaging the pads. Adjust
the brake (for Drum).
After installing the wheel, apply the brake
several times and then check if the wheel
rotates freely. Recheck the wheel if the brake
drags or if the wheel does not rotate freely.
If a torque wrench was not used for
installation, visit your Honda dealer as
soon as possible to verify proper torquing.
Improper torque may lead to loss of braking
capacity.
