Brake Caliper: Testing and Inspection
With Caliper On Vehicle
Fig 9 Caliper Assembly
Check for piston seal leaks (evident by brake fluid in and around boot area and inboard lining) and for any ruptures of piston dust boot.
-
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.
