WARNING: Clean brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of airborne materials.CAUTION:
- When cylinder body is open, do not depress brake pedal, otherwise caliper piston will pop out.
- Be careful not to damage piston boot or get oil on rotor. Always replace shims when replacing pads. If shims are rusted or show peeling of rubber coat, replace them with new shims.
- It is not necessary to remove connecting bolt except for disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, suspend cylinder body with wire so as not to stretch brake hose.
- Carefully monitor brake fluid level because brake fluid will return to reservoir when pushing back piston.

2. Remove brake cable lock spring.
3. Remove cable guide from caliper assembly.
4. Disconnect cable.
5. Remove lock spring from brake hose. Then remove brake hose from bracket.
