REMOVING/DISASSEMBLING
1. Secure the ATV on a support stand to elevate the
wheel; then remove the wheel.
2. Drain the brake fluid from the caliper, hose, and
master cylinder through the bleed screw by pump-
ing the brake lever/pedal.
PR235
NOTE: Whenever brake components are
removed, disassembled, or repaired where brake
fluid is exposed to air, drain all fluid and replace
with new DOT 4 brake fluid from an unopened con-
tainer. Brake fluid readily absorbs moisture from
the air significantly lowering the boiling point.
This increases the chance of vapor lock reducing
braking power and increasing stopping distance.
3. Remove the brake hose from the caliper and close
the bleed screw; then remove the caliper.
4. Compress the caliper holder against the caliper
(opposite the O-ring side) and remove the outer
brake pad; then remove the inner brake pad.
NOTE: If brake pads are to be returned to service,
do not allow brake fluid to contaminate them.

5. Remove the caliper holder from the caliper and
discard the O-ring.
! WARNING
Arctic Cat recommends that only authorized Arctic Cat
ATV dealers perform hydraulic brake service. Failure
to properly repair brake systems can result in loss of
control causing severe injury or death.
! WARNING
Make sure the ATV is solidly supported on the support
stand to avoid injury.
! WARNING
Never let brake fluid contact the eyes. Damage to the eyes
will occur. Always wear appropriate protective safety gog-
gles and latex gloves when handling brake fluid.
CAUTION
Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Do not spill brake fluid
on any surface of the ATV and do not reuse brake
fluid.
