Removal
1. Raise and support the rear of the motorcycle.
Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle
is
stabilised and adequately supported. This will help
prevent it from falling
and causing injury to the
operator or damage
to the motorcycle.
2. Release the wheel spindle nut and withdraw the
spindle
to a point where it clears the caliper
carrier.

2. Caliper carrier
3. Release the torque reaction bolt from the caliper
carrier, collecting the spacer from between the
wheel and calliper carrier.

2. Spacer
4. If removing the calliper completely, disconnect
the brake hose. Otherwise, leave the hose
attached.
Do not allow the caliper to hang
on the brake hoses
as this may damage the hoses
and could lead to
reduced brake efficiency causing loss of motorcycle
control
and an accident.
5. As an assembly, manoeuvre the calliper and
carrier until it
is clear of the brake disc and wheel,
collecting the spacer once it
is freed from the
caliper carrier.
