CAUTION:

While removing cylinder body, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
It is not necessary to remove torque member mounting bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so that brake hose is not under tension.

If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.
Always replace shim and shim covers as a set when replacing brake pads.
Keep rotor clean, from brake fluid.
Burnish the brake pads and disc rotor mutually contacting surfaces after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to ,"BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE ".
