Caution:
Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from its mount and the
hydraulic flexible brake hose is still connected. Failure to support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to bear
the weight of the caliper, which may cause damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak.
Without disconnecting the hydraulic brake flexible hose, remove wheel bearing/hub and brake assembly (2) upward and secure the
wheel bearing/hub and brake assembly with heavy mechanics wire (1), or equivalent.
