UNIT REPAIR
Front Brake Caliper
Disassembly
Before disassembling the brake caliper, clean and
inspect the caliper for the following:
• Cracks or chips on the piston
• Damaged seals
• Cracks in the caliper housing
WARNING!
• Under no condition should high pressure air ever be used to remove a piston from a caliper bore. Personal
injury could result from such a practice.
• Do not place face or hands near caliper and piston if using compressed air pressure to remove piston. Do not
use high pressure.
1. Place a wooden block (1) in the caliper.
2. Apply low pressure compressed air to the caliper
fluid inlet port in short spurts to force the piston
out.
3. Remove the piston from the caliper.
4. Remove the dust boot from the piston and discard
it.
CAUTION:
Do not use a screwdriver or other metal tool
for seal removal. Using such tools can scratch
the bore or leave burrs on the seal groove
edges.
