the front shocks assembly using #12socket wrench. You don’t need toremove your front wheel.
Lay the basin right underneath theBrake assembly to catch the brake fluid(Careful not to spray the fluid on paint,to avoid corrosion, immediately wet itw/ water if in case spilled with brakefluid). Using #12 closed wrench,remove the bolt from the Hydraulichose assembly, careful not to drop thewashers that is on both sides.
Using the 5mm Allen wrench removeboth studs to dismantle the brake pads.

As seen, the left pad sits right next tothe piston cylinders, while the otherwith the hook lies across the otherside, both pads facing each other.
See the comparison, left pad is overlyused, right pad is new.
Removing the brace requires extraattention. If the brake hasn’t beenchecked for a long period of time, thismay have been affixed to the slotsalready, you may require to pound it outusing the non-marking hammer.Steadily mounted on a table clamp or awooden anvil, carefully dislodge ittoward the direction of the arrow.

Next is removing the brass spring, seehow it is placed, with a flat screwdriver, poke it out upwards. That is howyou should return it in position. With
the bristle brush, pour kerosene andbrush off all sediments that had beenstuck in the crevices.

The cylinders should be half hidden inthe piston chamber. Place a rag on thecylinder’s wall and pluck it out with thepliers, carefully twisting the cylinderside to side away from the housing til itpulls out completely. Do the samepulling-out method with the rag & pliersso as not to damage the other cylinder.

With the fine sandpaper, slowly feel any rough parts on the cylinder and carefullyrub it on a uniform manner, occasionally dubbing the sandpaper with kerosene.
Feel the chambers for any mineral deposits, use the sandpaper to get rid of italso. Wash off any dirty remnants. Put grease on the o-rings.

The brace shafts should slide easily in the twin slots. Few grease will spurt outon the sides to release the air trapped inside the slots.
Return the cylinders one by one. By carefully placing the closed end at thebottom, apply pressure using a shaft or a socket wrench adaptor, do thiscarefully because you might damage the o-rings if inserted unevenly, if thecylinder is already inserted, you may not push it down all the way, half-way willdo, so it won’t be hard to pump fluid upon bleeding. Do it on the other cylinderand place it on the same level as the other.
Clamp the brass springs back to the housing. (Ignore the arrow)
Brake Pads. The left pad sits right next to the piston cylinders, while the otherwith the hook lies across the other side, both pads facing each other.

pumping the brake lever, while an assistant is helping you bleed the valve. Makesure your assistant wipes away excess brake fluid so as not to corrode yourpaint job.
Doing the routinary motion: pump, pump, pump, pump, hold press, open valve to
release fluid, close valve fast, then pump, pump, pump again, until the lever gets
harder to squeeze. This is the process of Bleeding.
If the desired hardness of the brake lever’s squeeze is attained, pour more brake
fluid into the reservoir, place back the rubber, then the plastic mould, then thelid, screw the lid and wash out excess fluid with soap and water.
End.
I hope this helps you also in dismantling the rear brake assembly, which is easier to
do. It only has one cylinder to clean.
Good Luck!
Happy Cleaning!!!

Put a rubber hose, like that of the Catheter on the Bleeding Valve.So that no Brake Fluid will spurt on your eyes or paint job when you release airupon bleeding.
Ok di ba?

Yes sir it is already replaced. Pinakita ko lang for Comparison ng old vs. the new pad.
That is the result of my almost three years of 41,000kms of touring Luzon.
For the pads, #800 can get rid of any unwanted dirt or unevenness on the pads,
whether old or new. #1500 is for the cylinders & piston chambers. Just a big thumb &
a small ripped sandpaper in a uniform motion/direction can rub out anything stuck on
the circumference of the cylinders.
Correct. That's why the Tip: of placing a catheter hose on the bleeding valve can behelpful!
Thanks for the addt'l feed sir NSCB!
Isusunod ko po ang Carburator Cleaning on my next vacant time.
