INSTALLING THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS
The following procedure applies to both of the
brake calipers.
1. Install:
• Front brake caliper “1”
(temporarily)
• Brake hose gaskets
• Brake hoses “2”
• Brake hose union bolts “3”
WARNING
EWA13531
Proper brake hose routing is essential to in-
sure safe vehicle operation.
NOTICE
ECA14170
When installing the brake hose onto the
brake caliper “1”, make sure the brake pipe
“a” touches the projection “b” on the brake
caliper.
2. Remove:
• Front brake caliper
3. Install:
• Brake pads
• Brake pad spring
• Brake pad pin
• Brake pad clips
• Front brake caliper
Refer to “REPLACING THE FRONT BRAKE
PADS” on page 4-57.
4. Fill:
• Brake master cylinder reservoir
(with the specified amount of the specified
brake fluid)
WARNING
EWA13090
• Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.
• Refill with the same type of brake fluid that
is already in the system. Mixing brake fluids
may result in a harmful chemical reaction,
leading to poor brake performance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the brake fluid and could cause vapor lock.
NOTICE
ECA13540
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean up
any spilt brake fluid immediately.
5. Bleed:
• Brake system
Refer to “BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC
BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)” on page 3-16.

Add the
specified brake fluid to the proper level.
Refer to “CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL” on page 3-13.
7. Check:
