2. Compress mounting bracket and make sure dust boots are
fully seated. Install pads with friction material facing each
other.
3. Install caliper on hub strut, and torque mounting bolts.
4. Slowly pump the brake lever until pressure has been built
up. Maintain at least 1/2, (12.7 mm) of brake fluid in the
reservoir to prevent air from entering the brake system.

stationary pad contacts disc, then back off 1/2 turn
(counterclockwise).
6. Verify fluid level in reservoir is up to MAX line inside
reservoir and install reservoir cap.

burnishing procedure be performed after installation of new
brake pads to extend service life and reduce noise.
NOTE: Front Wheel Nut Torque: Refer to Chapter 2.
Brake Burnishing Procedure
Start machine and slowly increase speed to 30 mph. Gradually
apply brakes to stop machine. Allow pads and disc to cool
sufficiently during the procedure. Do not allow pads or disc to
become hot or warping may result. Repeat this procedure 10
times.
