4. Remove sliding pin bolts and the brake caliper.

CAUTION:

Do not drop brake pads or caliper.

INSTALLATION

1. Position the brake caliper to torque member and install the sliding pin bolts. Tighten to specification.
2. Assemble the union bolt (A) and the copper sealing washers (1)

to the brake hose and install it as an assembly to the brake cali-

per. Align the brake hose L-pin by aligning it with the brake cali-

per hole, and tighten the union bolt (A) to the specified torque.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse copper sealing washers.

3. Refill with new brake fluid and perform the air bleeding. Refer to

borne particles or other material.

CAUTION:

• Do not depress the brake pedal while removing the brake pads because the pistons may pop out.

• It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or

replacement of brake caliper. For brake pad removal, hang brake caliper with a wire so as not to

stretch brake hose.

• If brake fluid or grease adheres to the brake caliper or disc rotor, quickly wipe it off.
1. Partially drain brake fluid from the master cylinder. Refer to 

BR-16, "Drain and Refill"

.

2. Remove the rear wheels and tires using power tool.
3. Loosen the lower sliding pin bolt and remove the upper sliding pin bolt.
4. Using the lower sliding pin bolt as a pivot, swing the brake caliper down from the torque member. Leaving

the brake hose attached, support the brake caliper with wire.
