Brake Caliper: Description and Operation
GENERAL INFORMATION
This caliper has a single bore. Hydraulic force, created by applying force to the brake pedal, is converted by the caliper to friction. The hydraulic
force acts equally against the piston and the bottom of the caliper bore to move the piston outward and to move (slide) the caliper inward, resulting
in a clamping action on the disc. This clamping action forces the pads (linings) against the disc, creating friction to stop the vehicle.
CAUTION:
^
If any component is removed or line disconnected, bleed the brake system.
^
Do not use lubricated shop air on brake parts as damage to rubber components may result.
NOTE:
^
Lubricate parts as specified.
^
Replace pads in axle sets only.
^
The torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners.
