Brake Caliper
NOTE:
Nuts and bolts with the star mark are special corrosion resistant Dacro fasteners. Use the same type if replacement is necessary.
- Remove, disassemble, inspect, reassemble and install the caliper and note these items: Do not spill brake fluid on vehicle, it may damage the paint, if brake fluid gets on the vehicle wash it off immediately with water. To prevent dripping cover disconnected hose joints with rags or shop towels.
- Clean all parts in brake fluid and air dry, blow out all passages with compressed air. Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of dirt and other foreign particles. Make sure no grease or oil gets on the brake disc or pads. When reusing pads, always reinstall them in their original positions, to prevent loss of braking efficiency.
- Do not reuse the drained brake fluid, always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Non- Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and shorten the life of the system. Coat the piston, piston seal grove, and caliper bore with clean brake fluid. Replace all rubber parts with new ones.
- After installing the caliper, check the brake hose and lines for leaks, interference, and twisting. Replace parts with new ones as specified in the diagram. See Fig 1 .
