Compressing Caliper Piston
NOTE: If any hydraulic component is removed or disconnected, it may be necessary to bleed all or part of the brake system.
CAUTION: Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. Brake fluid can also damage electrical connections. Shop cloths and clean containers
should be used to prevent spillage of brake fluid.
1. Remove approximately 2/3 of brake fluid from master cylinder.
2. Raise vehicle and support on jack stands.
3. Mark relationship of wheel to hub and bearing assembly.
4. Remove front wheels.
5. Reinstall two wheel nuts to retain rotor to hub and bearing assembly.
6. Position suitable pliers over outboard pad and housing as shown in image and squeeze pliers to compress caliper piston. This will provide
clearance between linings and rotor. The piston can also be bottomed in the bore with a large C-clamp. Refer to image.
