CAUTION:

Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector. Do not blow with compressed air.
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.
Do not damage piston boot.
Always replace shim and shim covers as a set when replacing brake pads.
Keep rotor clean, from brake fluid.
