CAUTION: Do not use a screw driver or other metal tool for seal removal. Using such tools can scratch bore or leave burrs on seal groove edges.
7. Using a soft tool such as a plastic trim stick (2), work piston seal (1) out of its groove in caliper piston bore. Discard used seal.
8. Remove caliper bleeder screw (1) from caliper housing (2).
9. Clean piston bore and drilled passage ways with alcohol or a suitable solvent. Wipe it dry using only a lint-free cloth.

CLEANING
WARNING: Dust and dirt accumulating on brake parts during normal use may contain asbestos fibers from production or aftermarket
brake linings. Breathing excessive concentrations of asbestos fibers can cause serious bodily harm. Exercise care when servicing brake parts.
Do not sand or grind brake lining unless equipment used is designed to contain the dust residue. Do not clean brake parts with compressed
air or by dry brushing. Cleaning should be done by dampening the brake components with a fine mist of water, then wiping the brake
components clean with a dampened cloth. Dispose of cloth and all residue containing asbestos fibers in an impermeable container with the
appropriate label. Follow practices prescribed by the Occupational Safety And Health Administration (OSHA) and the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) for the handling, processing, and disposing of dust or debris that may contain asbestos fibers.
To clean or flush the internal passages of the brake caliper, use fresh brake fluid or Mopar® Non-Chlorinated Brake Parts Cleaner. Never
use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol, oil, transmission fluid or any fluid containing mineral oil to clean the caliper. These fluids will damage rubber
cups and seals.
INSPECTION
Inspect the disc brake caliper for the following: Cracked or damaged housing Brake fluid leaks in and around boot area Ruptures, brittleness or
damage to the piston dust boot
If caliper fails inspection, disassemble and recondition caliper, replacing the seals and dust boots or replace caliper.
