Caution: Brake dust contains asbestos, which is extremely harmful to health. Do not blow it off with compressed air or inhale it.
Warning: Clean the outside of the parts with a special cleaner or denatured alcohol. Never use gasoline, kerosene or gasoline-based cleaners for this purpose.
Warning: Disc brake pads should be replaced on both rear wheels at the same time - never replace pads on just one wheel.
Note: When working on disc brakes, use only high quality, branded parts from reputable manufacturers.
