Front Brake Caliper – Disassembly
To prevent injury, never place fingers or hands inside the caliper opening when
removing the pistons. Always wear eye, hand and face protection when using
compressed air. Eye, face and skin damage will result from direct contact with
compressed air.
Make sure the seal grooves in the caliper bores are not damaged during the removal
of the seals. Damage to the seal grooves may allow brake fluid to leak past the seals
resulting in a dangerous riding condition leading to loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
1. Cover the caliper opening with a clean heavy cloth and using either compressed air
or by reconnecting the master cylinder and pumping the brake lever, remove the
pistons one at a time.
