INSTALLING THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS
The following procedure applies to both of the
brake calipers.
1. Install:
• Brake caliper assembly
• Brake caliper bolts “1”
• Brake hose “2”
• Copper washers “3”
• Union bolt “4”
WARNING
EWA13530
Proper brake hose routing is essential to in-
sure safe vehicle operation. Refer to “CABLE
ROUTING” on page 2-41.
NOTICE
ECA1S3L011
When installing the brake hose onto the
brake caliper, make sure the brake pipe “a”
touches the projection “b” on the brake cali-
per.
2. Fill:
• Brake master cylinder reservoir
(with the specified amount of the recom-
mended 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.
3. Bleed:
• Brake system
Refer to “BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC
BRAKE SYSTEM” on page 3-24.
