REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Service Precautions
Observe the following precautions when servicing the rear disc brake system:
When removing a disc brake caliper (2B120), never allow the disc brake caliper to hang from the rear brake hose. Provide a suitable support.
Replace brake shoes and linings (2001) when they reach a thickness of 0.794mm (.03125 in.).
Always replace all brake shoes and linings on an axle. Never service only one side.
Do not allow grease, oil or other contaminants to contact the brake lining material.
When removing brake parts, make sure to avoid damage to the bleeder screw and rear wheel disc brake shield (2C028).
During installation, make sure that all parts are correctly aligned.
