4. Remove the piston dust boot (2) with a suitable pry tool (1) and discard.
CAUTION: DO NOT SCRATCH PISTON BORE WHILE REMOVING THE SEALS.
5. Remove piston seal (2) from the caliper with a suitable tool (1).
6. Remove the caliper bleed screw.
7. Clean the caliper.
CLEANING
CAUTION: DO NOT use gasoline, kerosene, paint thinner or similar solvents. These products may leave a residue that could damage the piston and
seal.
Clean the caliper components with clean brake fluid or Brake Clean only. Wipe the caliper and piston dry with lint free towels or use low pressure
compressed air.
INSPECTION
CAUTION: If the caliper piston is replaced, install the same type piston in the caliper. Never interchange phenolic resin and steel caliper pistons.
The pistons, seals, seal grooves, caliper bore and piston tolerances are different.
Remove deposits on the piston using a soft brass wire brush or a rough shop towel. Do not clean piston with a polishing or emery cloth because this
will damage the chrome-plated surface. Replace the piston if the chrome plated surface is damaged.
Clean aluminum version with anodized surfaces (piston and housing bore) with soft rag only.
If the piston is jammed or if the cylinder bores are scored or rusted, replace the complete fixed brake caliper and with the floating brake caliper,
replace the cylinder housing. Remove small, light rust spots in the cylinder bore with a polishing cloth. Remove heavy rust spots in front of the groove
for the piston seal using fine-grained emery paper (grain size 380 to 500).
