! WARNING
The manufacturer recommends only authorized dealers
perform hydraulic brake service. Failure to properly
repair brake systems can result in loss of control caus-
ing severe injury or death.
REMOVING/DISASSEMBLING
1. Secure the vehicle on a support stand to elevate the
wheel; then remove the wheel.
! WARNING
Never let brake fluid contact the eyes. Damage to the
eyes will occur. Always wear appropriate protective
safety goggles and latex gloves when handling brake
fluid.
2. Drain the brake fluid from the caliper, hose, and mas-
ter cylinder through the bleed screw by pumping the
brake pedal.
CAUTION
Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Do not spill brake fluid
on any surface of the vehicle and do not reuse brake
fluid.
NOTE: Whenever brake components are removed,

disassembled, or repaired where brake fluid is
exposed to air, drain all fluid and replace with new
DOT 4 brake fluid from an unopened container.
Brake fluid readily absorbs moisture from the air sig-
nificantly lowering the boiling point. This increases
the chance of vapor lock reducing braking power and
increasing stopping distance.
3. Remove the brake hose from the caliper and close
the bleed screw; then remove the caliper.
4. Remove the jam screw.
