FRONT BRAKE PAD REMOVAL
WARNING
• If at any point in this procedure the hydraulic system is opened, the brakes must be bled after the
correct reinstallation of the brake components. Failure to bleed the brakes could result in decreased
braking performance due to air being trapped in the hydraulic system. Use only DOT 5 brake fluid. See
Bleeding the Hydraulic Brake System on page 6-18.
• Prior to servicing hydraulic brakes, thoroughly clean the vehicle, paying particular attention to areas
immediately surrounding hydraulic connections, to prevent dirt or debris from entering the system.
CAUTION
• Do not pump the brake pedal without brake fluid in the master cylinder and reservoir.
• Worn or damaged brake discs cannot be machined to refinish them. Replace as necessary.
