prepare a clean work area for disassembly.
4. Use a commercially available caliper piston pliers to extract
the pistons from the caliper.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the caliper pistons with
a standard pliers. The piston sealing surfaces will
become damaged if a standard pliers is used.

remove the square O-rings from the caliper. O-rings should
be replaced during caliper service.
