6. Install a large C-clamp over the body of the brake caliper with the C-clamp ends against the rear of the caliper body and against the outer brake
pad.
Notice: When using a large C-clamp to compress a caliper piston into a caliper bore of a caliper equipped with an integral park brake mechanism,
do not exceed more than 1 mm (0.039 in) of piston travel. Exceeding this amount of piston travel will cause damage to the internal adjusting
mechanism and/or the integral park brake mechanism.
7. Tighten the C-clamp until the caliper piston is compressed into the caliper bore enough to allow the caliper to slide past the brake rotor.
Do not exceed 1 mm (0.039 in) of caliper piston travel.
8. Remove the C-clamp from the caliper.
9. Remove the brake hose to caliper bolt from the brake caliper.
10. Remove the brake hose from the brake caliper.
11. Remove and discard the 2 copper brake hose gaskets. These gaskets may be stuck to the brake caliper and/or the brake hose end.
12. Cap or plug the opening in the brake caliper and the brake hose to prevent fluid loss and contamination.
