Refer to "Installation"page BR-17.
Perform a road test.
If there is a small quantity of air in the brake line, it can affect the brake pedal stroke so you must bleed the system carefully.
When replacing the piston seal, check the pedal stroke.
If the pedal stroke is too great, the piston may not retain the piston seal.
Adjust as follows :
After removing the pad from the piston, push the piston into the cylinder 3-5mm. Put a lever or steel plate between the piston and disc, being carefulnot to damage the contact surface of the disc or the piston end.
Install the pad. Restore the brake pedal to the original position and step on it 2-3 times.
Repeat the above procedure more than 5 times and move the piston outward and inward to assure that the piston seal is properly installed.
Before driving a vehicle, step on the brake pedal and release it many times.
Perform the road test.
Remove the wheel.
Remove the caliper assembly from the anchor plate and suspend it with a wire.
After loosening the 2 screws on the disc, remove the disc.
Before replacing the brake pads, drain brake fluid from the master cylinder reservoir until it is half full.
Install two caliper guide rods and tighten to the specified torque.
Specified torque : |
22-32 Nm (220-320 kg.cm, 16.2-23.6 lb.ft) |
After filling the master cylinder reservoir with the fluid, bleed the brake line.
Recommended brake fluid : DOT 3, DOT 4 |
