Magnum V8-5.7L (2008)
CAUTION: Do not use excessive force when clamping caliper (2) in vise. Caliper housing is made of aluminum. Excessive vise pressure will
cause bore distortion.
2. Mount caliper (2) in vise equipped with protective jaws.
3. C-clamp (1) a block of wood (3) over one piston.
4. Take another block of wood and pad it with one-inch thickness of shop towels. Padded block should be sized to allow piston to push out of bore
far enough to be removed by hand after being loosened by air pressure, yet large enough to keep piston from coming completely out.
5. Place the padded block of wood (1) in outboard shoe side of caliper (2) in front of exposed piston (3). This will cushion and protect caliper piston
during removal.
WARNING: Do not place face or hands near caliper and piston if using compressed air to remove piston. Do not use high pressure.
WARNING: Never attempt to catch piston as it leaves bore. This could result in personal injury.
CAUTION: Do not blow piston out of bore with sustained air pressure. This could result in a cracked piston. Use only short spurts of air.
6. Apply short spurts of low pressure air with a rubber tipped blow gun through caliper brake hose port. Use only enough air pressure to ease
piston out of bore.
7. Remove piston from caliper (2).
8. Remove C-clamp and block of wood.
