Brake Caliper: Service and Repair
Overhaul
Disc Brake Caliper
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove the disc brake caliper from the vehicle.
2. Remove the caliper slide pins and caliper slide pin dust boots from the front disc brake caliper anchor plate.
CAUTION: Use care to retain as much of the original caliper slide pin grease as possible.
3. Place a wood block in the disc brake caliper jaws to avoid damage to the disc brake caliper pistons when they are forced out of the disc brake
caliper bores.
NOTE: Because there are two caliper pistons, it is desired to have both pistons nearly expelled before the seal is broken. Therefore, the
dimensions of the wood block used to assist removal are important. A block 38 x 38 x 1 50mm (1.5 x 1.5 x 6 inches) is recommended.
