Raider V6-3.7L SOHC (2006)
The piston is made from a steel material and should be smooth and clean.
The piston must be replaced if cracked or scored. Do not attempt to restore a scored piston surface by sanding or polishing.
CAUTION: If the caliper piston is replaced, install the same type of piston in the caliper. Never interchange phenolic resin and steel caliper pistons.
The pistons, seals, seal grooves, caliper bore and piston tolerances are different. The bore can be lightly polished with a brake hone (3) to remove very
minor surface imperfections. The caliper should be replaced if the bore is severely corroded, rusted, scored, or if polishing would increase bore
diameter more than 0.025 mm (0.001 inch).
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Dirt, oil, and solvents can damage caliper seals. Insure assembly area is clean and dry.
1. Lubricate caliper pistons, piston seals and piston bores with clean, fresh brake fluid.
NOTE: Verify seal is fully seated and not twisted.
2. Install new piston seals (2) into caliper bores (1).
3. Leave boot (1) dry and slip onto end of piston (2).
