Rear Brake Caliper Overhaul

'02-04 Models

Frequent inhalation of brake pad dust, regardless of material composition, could be hazardous to your health.

• Avoid breathing dust particles.

• Never use an air hose or brush to clean brake assemblies. Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner.

Remove, disassemble, inspect, reassemble, and install the caliper, and note these items:

• Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint. If brake fluid gets on the paint, wash it off

immediately with water.

• To prevent dripping brake fluid, cover disconnected hose joints with rags or shop towels.

• Clean all parts in brake fluid and air dry; blow out all passages with compressed air.

• Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of dirt and other foreign particles.

• Replace parts with new ones as specified in the illustration.

• Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter gets into the brake fluid.

• Make sure no grease or oil gets on the brake discs or pads.

• When reusing pads, always reinstall them in their original positions to prevent loss of braking efficiency.

• Do not reuse drained brake fluid. Use only clean Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Non-Honda brake fluid can cause

corrosion and shorten the life of the system.

• Do not mix different brands of brake fluid as they may not be compatible.

• Coat the piston, piston seal groove, and caliper bore with clean brake fluid.

• Replace all rubber parts with new ones whenever disassembled.

• After installing the caliper, check the brake hose and line for leaks, interference, and twisting.
