WARNING: Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cloth, then wipe with a dust collector.

Never reuse drained brake fluid.
Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it off immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.
Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or light oil. They may damage rubber parts and cause improper operation.
Always loosen the brake tube flare nut with a flare nut wrench.

Tighten the brake tube flare nut to the specified torque with a crowfoot (A) and torque wrench (B).
Always conform the specified tightening torque when installing the brake pipes.
Brake system is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is detected, always disassemble the affected part. If a malfunction is detected, replace part with a new one.
Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector or the battery negative terminal before performing the work.
