WARNING
Use only new black banjo washers (See Parts Catalog for
Part No.) with D.O.T. 4 brake fluid. Earlier silver banjo
washers are not compatible with D.O.T. 4 fluid and will
not seal properly over time. Failure to comply may
adversely affect braking ability and lead to brake failure
which could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
To avoid leakage, verify that banjo washers, banjo bolt,
hydraulic brake line and caliper bore are completely
clean.

two new banjo washers (4) and banjo bolt (3) (metric).
