caliper bore with enough force to cause personal injury. Never attempt to catch the piston by hand as it comes out of the bore.
CAUTION: Do not use a screwdriver or any other similar tool to pry the piston out of the bore. Piston damage could result.
Note: Inspect the piston for wear, rust, or pits. If any of these conditions exist, the piston must be replaced.

Assembly
1. CAUTION: Do not use denatured alcohol to clean rubber components or assemblies that have rubber components.
Cleaning rubber components with denatured alcohol weakens the rubber and may result in failure of the component.
CAUTION: Never allow any petroleum product or mineral oil to contact the inside of a brake hydraulic system. Mineral oil and petroleum
products deteriorate the natural rubber seals used in brake hydraulic system. If a brake system becomes contaminated, it must be flushed with clean
brake fluid and all rubber seals and flex hoses replaced. Use High Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AB or equivalent meeting Ford
