Disassembly
WARNING: Do not attempt to split the two
halves of the caliper. A dangerous riding
condition leading to an accident could occur if this
warning is ignored.
1. Remove the pad retaining pin and extract the
pads.
WARNING: To prevent injury, never place
fingers or hands inside the caliper
opening when removing the pistons. Always wear
eye, hand and face protection when using
compressed air. Eye, face and skin damage will
result from direct contact with compressed air.
2. Cover the caliper opening with a clean, heavy
cloth and, using either compressed air or by
reconnecting the master cylinder and pumping
the brake lever, remove the pistons one at a time.
Inspection
Check the pistons and caliper bores for corrosion,
scoring and damage. Renew as necessa
ry
.
WARNING: Always renew caliper seals
and pistons after removal from the
caliper. An effective hydraulic seal can only be
made if new components are used.
A dangerous riding condition leading to an
accident could result if this warning is ignored.
2. Inspect the brake pads for damage and wear
beyond the service limit. Renew as necessary.
Assembly
WARNING: Never use mineral based
grease in any part of the braking system
or in any area where contact with the braking
system is possible. Mineral based grease will
damage the hydraulic seals in the calipers and
master cylinders.
A dangerous riding condition leading to an
accident could result if this warning is ignored.
1. Fit new fluid seals.

WARNING: Ensure that the caliper bores
do not become scratched during piston
removal and assembly. Ensure that the pistons
remain square to their bores during fitment
otherwise damage to the caliper could result
A dangerous riding condition leading to an
accident could result if this warning is ignored.
2. Apply brake fluid to the outside of the caliper
pistons and fluid seals, and carefully push the
pistons fully into the caliper bores by hand.
Installation
Position the caliper over the disc and tighten the
caliper bolts to 40 Nm.
2. Fit the brake pads to the caliper and locate the
anti—rattle spring over the pads.
WARNING: Do not apply more than a
minimum coating of grease to the pad
retaining pins. Excess grease may contaminate
the brake pads, hydraulic seals and discs causing
reduced braking efficiency and an accident.
3. Lubricate the pad retaining pins using a minimum
amount of proprietary high temperature
`CoppersIip' type grease. Push down in the centre
of the anti rattle spring and fit the retaining pin.
4. Tighten the brake pad retaining pin to 25 Nm and
fit a new split pin.
5. Connect the brake hose(s) to the caliper using
new sealing washers on each side of the
banjo(s).
6. Tighten the banjo bolt to 25 Nm.
