Front Disc Pads: Removal
- Remove brake caliper retaining spring (3) carefully to avoid deforming it. See Fig 1.
- Remove brake caliper protective caps (1) from the 2 locating pins (2). See Fig 1. Remove both locating pins using a 7 mm hexagonal socket.
- Remove brake pads.
- Suspend brake caliper from a steel wire in front spring to avoid damaging hose.
- Clean brake pad contact surfaces in brake caliper and on caliper mounting.
- Check piston dirt guard. If dirt guard looks worn, replace it as a precautionary measure. If dirt guard is damaged, overhaul brake caliper.
NOTE:
Do not depress brake pedal while brake pads are removed.
NOTE:
If dirt guard is damaged, dirt may have penetrated into the cylinder and so the brake caliper needs to be overhauled.
