Brake Modulator Assembly Replace
Warning : Brake fluid may irritate eyes skin. In case of contact, take the following actions :
Important: Avoid spilling connections, wiring, or cables. Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces and cause corrosion to electrical components. If any brake fluid comes in contact with painted surfaces, immediately flush the area with water. If any brake fluid comes in contact with electrical connections, wiring, or cables, use a clean shop cloth to wipe away the fluid.
