2) Remove the brake hose from the caliper by
removing the union bolt (1) and catch the brake fluid
in a suitable receptacle.
NOTE
Place a rag underneath the union bolt on the
brake caliper to catch any spilt brake fluid.
3) Remove the caliper by removing the caliper
mounting bolts (2).
Installation
Install the brake caliper in the reverse order of removal.
Pay attention to the following points:
• Tighten each bolt to the specified torque.

kgf-m, 28.0 lbf-ft)
• After setting the brake hose union to the stopper,
tighten the union bolts to the specified torque.
CAUTION

The seal washers should be replaced with
new ones to prevent fluid leakage.
