WARNING: Do not apply very highly compressed air which will cause piston to jump out of cylinder. It should be taken out gradually
with moderately compressed air. Do not place your fingers in front of piston when using compressed air.
2. Remove piston seal using a thin blade like a thickness gauge, etc.
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage inside (bore side) of cylinder.
INSPECTION
Bush dust boot/cylinder boot
Check boots for breakage, crack and damage. If defective, replace. Apply rubber grease to bush outer surface. Make sure that each bush slides easily
through each caliper bolt hole.
NOTE: Where temperature gets as low as -30°C (-22°F) in cold weather, use rubber grease whose viscosity varies very little even at -40°C (-40°F).
Piston Seal
Excessive or uneven wear of pad lining may indicate unsmooth return of the piston. In such a case, replace rubber seal.
