Replacing The Rear Brake Pads - E-TON ATV6A 90 Service Manual

REAR BRAKE
N O T I C E
Disc brake components rarely require dis-
assembly.
DO NOT:
• disassemble components unless abso-
lutely necessary;
• use solvents on internal brake compo-
nents;
• use spent brake fluid for cleaning; (use
only clean brake fluid)
• allow brake fluid to come in contact with
the eyes, as this may cause eye injury;
• splash brake fluid onto painted surfaces
or plastic parts, as this may cause dam-
age;
• disconnect any hydraulic connection, as
this would require the entire brake system
to be disassembled, drained, cleaned,
properly filled and bled after reassembly.
