CAUTION
Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Do not spill brake fluid
on any surface of the ATV and do not reuse brake
fluid.
NOTE:
Whenever brake
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 con-
tainer. Brake fluid readily absorbs moisture from
the air significantly 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. Compress the caliper holder against the caliper
(opposite the O-ring side) and remove the outer
brake pad; then remove the inner brake pad.
NOTE: If brake pads are to be returned to service,
do not allow brake fluid to contaminate them.
5. Remove the caliper holder from the caliper and
discard the O-ring.
