If boot is damaged, or fluid is evident, it will be necessary to disassemble caliper assembly and install a new seal, boot, (and piston if damaged
or corroded).
Check the mating surfaces of the abutments on the caliper and adaptor.
-
If corroded or rusty, clean surfaces with wire brush. Inspect braking surfaces of disc.
