Brake Caliper: Service and Repair
Disassembly and Reassembly
Disassembly
1. Remove front disc brake caliper from the vehicle.
2. Remove the front caliper slide pins and boots.
3. Remove the dust seal
Warning: Use only as much compressed air as necessary to remove the piston. Excessive pressure can force the piston out of the caliper
bore with enough force to cause personal injury. Never attempt to catch the piston by hand as it comes out of the bore. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in personal injury.
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, a new piston must be installed.
4. Remove the caliper piston
(1) Position a block of wood between the piston and the disc brake caliper.
(2) Apply compressed air to caliper to remove piston.
