NOTE: If only brake pads and linings are being replaced, omit step (e).
(e) Disconnect brake line from caliper and plug openings in caliper and line to prevent
fluid loss and contamination (Figure 5-2).
(f) Inspect mounting bolts for corrosion. If corrosion is found, use new bolts when
installing caliper.
3. Brake Pad Removal
(a) Remove the inboard pad and spring from piston. Dislodge the outboard pad and
remove from caliper.
(b) Remove sleeves from mounting bolt holes and discard. Remove the four rubber
bushings from the grooves in each of the caliper ears and discard. (Figure 5-3.)
4. Cleaning and Inspection
(a) Examine the piston area for fluid leaks by looking for excessive moisture around
boot area. Check dust boot for cracks, cuts or other damage that would affect its
ability to seal piston bore. If leaks are present or boot shows damage, the caliper
should be overhauled. See specific section.
