Note
♦ Always install all parts supplied in repair kit.
♦ After renewing brake pads, depress brake pedal firmly several
times with vehicle stationary so that the pads are properly
seated in their normal operating position.
♦ To draw off brake fluid from brake fluid reservoir use a bleeder
bottle which is used only for brake fluid. Brake fluid is poison‐
ous and must NOT be drawn off by sucking through a hose.
