Rear Brake Rotor: Notes

WARNING: Clean brake pads with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of airborne particles or other materials.
CAUTION: When cylinder body is open, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out. Be careful not to damage piston boot or get oil on rotor. Always replace shims in replacing pads. 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. Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing brake rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. See BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE  under ADJUSTMENTS.
