FRONT BRAKE ICHASI~I
Disc brake components rarely require dis-
assembly. DO NOT:
• disassemble components unless abso-
lutely necessary;
•
use solvents on internal brake compo-
nents;
•
use spent brake fluid for cleaning; (use
only clean brake fluid)
• allow brake fluid to come in contact with
the eyes,
as this may cause eye injury;
• splash brake fluid onto painted surfaces or
plastic parts,
as this may cause damage;
• disconnect any hydraulic connection,
as
this would require the entire brake sys-
tem to be disassembled, drained,
cleaned, properly filled and bled after
reassembly.
