The front-wheel needs removal before you can begin pad replacement by securing the disc with hub nuts during this process. Check the pad lining thickness through the caliper inspection hole before pad replacement because any lining below 1.0 mm (0.039 inch) requires replacement. Securely hanging up the caliper after removing its installation bolt while holding the bottom sliding pin allows proper pad replacement without disconnecting the flexible hose. You must first remove both brake pads and their four anti-squeal shims followed by taking out the four pad support plates but you can use the plates again if they are free of damage, wear, and rust and have no cracks. The pad wear indicator plate should be removed from the inner pad before performing a disc thickness and runout measurement. The installation process starts with the pad support plates before adding new pads while performing the replacement of the anti-squeal shims together with pad wear indicator plates. Set the inner pad wear indicator face upward and apply disc brake grease to inner anti-squeal shims which should be installed on pads before inserting the inner pad then the outer pad without getting oil or grease on the rubbing surfaces. Bleed brake fluid from the reservoir while pushing the piston with the hammer handle or another tool and relax the bleeder plug when needed. Place the caliper onto its position while maintaining hold of the sliding pin before tightening the installation bolt to 34 Nm (350 kgf-cm, 25 ft. lbs.). The front wheel installation requires torquing to 104 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 77 ft. lbs.) before pedal depression for multiple times and confirmation of fluid position at the maximum line.
