      • When replacing worn pads, the anti squeal shims must be replaced together with the pads.

      • Install the shims in the correct positions and directions.

      • Apply disc brake grease to the area that contacts the anti squeal shims.

      • Disc brake grease can come out slightly from the area where the anti squeal shim is installed.

      • Make sure that disc brake grease is not applied onto the lining surface.

    2. Install the 4 anti squeal shims onto each brake pad.

    3. Install the pad wear indicator plates onto the upper side of the brake pads.

  8. INSTALL FRONT DISC BRAKE PAD KIT


    1. Install the 2 disc brake pads onto the disc brake cylinder mounting.

      Note

      There should be no oil or grease on the friction surfaces of the disc brake pads or the front disc.

  9. INSTALL DISC BRAKE CYLINDER ASSEMBLY


    1. Hold the slide pin with a wrench and install the disc brake cylinder onto the disc brake cylinder mounting with the 2 bolts.

      Torque:
      34 N*m  { 347 kgf*cm, 25 ft.*lbf }

  10. CONNECT FRONT FLEXIBLE HOSE


    1. Connect the flexible hose with the union bolt and a new gasket.

      Torque:
      30 N*m  { 310 kgf*cm, 22 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips

      Install the flexible hose lock securely into the lock hole in the disc brake cylinder.
