4. Making sure the brake fluid does not contact the
brake pads, compress the caliper holder toward the
caliper and install the inner brake pad; then install
the outer pad.
CAUTION
If the brake pads become contaminated with the brake
fluid, they must be thoroughly cleaned with brake fluid
cleaning solvent or replaced with new pads. Failure to
do so will result in reduced braking and premature
brake pad failure.

5. Install jam screw and tighten to 9 ft-lb (12.2 N-m).
6. Place the brake caliper assembly into position and
secure with new "patch-lock" cap screws. Tighten
the caliper to 35 ft-lb (47.6 N-m).
7. Place a new crush washer on each side of the brake
hose fitting and install it on the caliper. Tighten to
20 ft-lb (27.2 N-m).
8. Fill the reservoir; then bleed the brake system (see
Periodic Maintenance/Tune-Up).
! WARNING
Never use brake fluid from an open container or reuse
brake fluid. Moisture-contaminated brake fluid could
cause vapor build-up (expansion) during hard braking
resulting in greatly increased stopping distance or loss
of control leading to injury or death.
Master Cylinder Assembly
NOTE: The master cylinder is a non-serviceable
component; it must be replaced as an assembly.
REMOVING
1. Slide a piece of flexible tubing over the front left
brake caliper bleeder valve and direct the other end
into a container. Remove the master cylinder cover;
then open the bleeder valve. Allow the brake fluid to
drain until the reservoir is empty.
2. Remove the spring, E-clip and pivot pin from the
yoke; then disconnect the two pressure switch con-
nectors. Note where each connector goes.
