Disassembly Procedure
1. Drain all the brake fluid from the caliper.
2. Pad the interior of the caliper with clean shop towels.
Caution: Do not place your fingers in front of the piston in order to catch or protect the piston while applying compressed air. This could
result in serious injury.
Notice: Use just enough air pressure to ease the piston out of the bore. You can damage a blown-out piston even with the padding.
3. Remove the piston from the caliper bore.
4. Remove the boot from the caliper bore. Do not scratch the housing bore.
