Bonneville V8-46L VIN Y (2004) Front Brake Caliper Replacement
Notice: Refer to Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Notice in Service Precautions.
1. Remove the rear brake caliper from vehicle. Refer to Brake Caliper Replacement - Rear. If the brake caliper was leaking brake fluid from the
REAR of the caliper past the integral park brake actuator shaft seal, replace the brake caliper assembly. The park brake integral mechanism
contains a non-serviceable seal which may be allowing brake fluid to leak past it and into the non-serviceable integral park brake mechanism.
2. Remove the caliper sleeves from the caliper mounting holes.
3. Remove the brake caliper sleeve dust boots.
4. Using a small wooden or plastic tool, carefully remove the brake caliper piston dust boot seal retaining ring from the groove in the caliper seal
counterbore.
5. Using a spanner type wrench, rotate the brake caliper piston (2) counterclockwise to remove the piston with the dust boot seal (5) from the caliper
(1).
6. Remove the piston dust boot seal from the piston and discard the boot seal.
