Front Brake Caliper Removal
1. Remove the banjo bolt and copper washers holding the brake line to the caliper body (Figure 6-4,
Page 6-7) . See following NOTE.
NOTE: Place a clean, tray-type container below the caliper and brake line assembly to catch brake fluid
when the brake line and caliper body are separated.
2. Place a plastic bag over the hose fitting to prevent dirt and debris from entering the hydraulic brake sys-
tem.
3. Remove and discard the two hex-head bolts that secure the caliper assembly to the upright and remove
the caliper and, if equipped, its two shim washers (one per bolt).
