GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
DISC BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY
This caliper has a single bore and is mounted to the steer-
ing knuckle with two mounting bolts. Hydraulic pressure,
created by pressing the brake pedal, is converted by the
caliper to a stopping force. This force acts equally against
the piston and the bottom of the caliper bore. It moves the
piston outward and slides the caliper inward, resulting in
a clamping action on the rotor. This clamping action forces
the linings against the rotor, creating friction to stop the ve-
hicle.
S Replace all components included in the repair kits
used to service the caliper.
S Lubricate the rubber parts with clean brake fluid to
ease assembly.
S Do not use lubricated shop air on brake parts, as
damage to the rubber components may result.
S If any hydraulic component is removed or discon-
nected, it may be necessary to bleed all or part of
the brake system.
S Replace the pads in axle sets only.
S The torque values specified are for dry, unlubri-
cated fasteners.
S Perform the service operations on a clean bench,
free from all mineral oil materials.
