WARNING: Clean dust on caliper and brake pad with a vacuum dust collector to minimize the hazard of airborne particles or other materials.

CAUTION:

While removing caliper body, do not depress brake pedal because piston will pop out.
Do not damage the piston boot.
If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.
Always replace shim and shim cover as a set when replacing brake pads.
Keep rotor free from grease and brake fluid.
Burnish the brake contact surface after refinishing or replacing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to "BRAKE BURNISHING ".
