CLEANING and INSPECTION
Clean all metal parts with isopropyl alcohol. Clean out and dry the grooves and passageways with compressed air. Make sure that caliper bore and
component parts are thoroughly clean.
Use a wire brush to remove any rust or corrosion from the machined surfaces of the caliper housing.
NOTE: Do not use a wire brush in the cylinder bore.
Check the cylinder bore and piston for damage or excessive wear. Replace the piston if it is pitted, scored or worn. Do not replace phenolic pistons for
cosmetic surface irregularities or small chips between the piston groove and pad face.
Use a wire brush to clean corrosion from the boot groove and the machined surfaces of the spindle assembly.
Replace the anti-rattle clip, piston seal and dust boot with new components.
ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Never re-use piston seals and dust boots. Install a new set each time the caliper is assembled.
1. Lubricate new piston seals with clean brake fluid. Install them in the seal grooves in the cylinder bores.
2. Apply a film of clean brake fluid to the cylinder bores.
3. Lubricate retaining lips of the dust boots with clean brake fluid and install them in the boot retaining grooves in the cylinder bores.
4. Apply a film of clean brake fluid to the pistons.
5. Insert the pistons into the dust boots and start them into the cylinders by hand until they are beyond the piston seals. Be careful not to damage or
dislodge the piston seal.
6. Place a wood block over one piston and press the piston into the cylinder being careful not to cock the piston in the cylinder. Install the second
piston in the same manner. Make certain that boots are correctly seated.
7. Install the pad and lining assemblies and anti-rattle spring in the caliper assembly. Place the caliper assembly on the support and install the caliper
pins.
