NOTE
The left hand caliper requires the removal of the drive belt and driven clutch to access the
mounting bolts at the transmission. Refer to Removing the Driven Clutch in Section CS
of this service guide.
NOTE
When removing the caliper from the transmission, take note of any shims that may have
been used between the caliper and transmission mounting boss. Earlier models may have
employed shims to correctly align the calipers with the brake discs. Ensure that these are
reinstalled upon remounting the caliper.
5. Remove the caliper to a clean workbench.
Hydraulic Brake Caliper Disassembly
1. Perform the servicing procedure, Remove Hydraulic Brake Caliper.
2. Work on a CLEAN dry surface. Locate and remove the 2 cotter pins securing the pads
in the caliper and remove the brake pads.
3. Remove the piston from each half by applying compressed air (Max. 20 psi or less), to
the hydraulic hose inlet. Place a rag in between the caliper to absorb the shock of the
piston when it pops from the caliper. Photo 8

causing serious injury.

be secured together by either (4) Socket Head mounting Bolts (Gremica calipers), or (4)
Hex Head Bolts, Flat Washers & Nuts (Knott calipers).
