serious injury.
1. Remove the caliper from the vehicle.
2. Insert a block of hard wood or a shop cloth (2) into the caliper interior (1) to catch the piston as it is forced out of the bore with compressed air.
3. Remove the piston from the caliper by applying compressed air to the caliper brake hose connector hole.
4. Remove the rubber boot from the caliper groove.
5. Remove the piston seal (1) from the caliper (2).
6. Remove the bleeder valve from the caliper.
7. Remove the caliper pin bolts, with the boots, from the caliper.
8. Clean the following items in clean denatured alcohol:
-
The caliper slide bushings
-
The caliper set ring
-
The piston
-
The caliper carrier
-
The caliper housing
9. Dry the parts with Unlubricated, compressed air.
10. Blow out all passages in the caliper housing and the bleeder valve.
11. Inspect the piston for scoring, corrosion and any damage to the chrome plating. Replace the piston if any of these conditions are observed.
12. Inspect the caliper bore for scoring, pitting and corrosion. Use a crocus cloth to polish out any light corrosion. If the corrosion cannot be removed,
replace the caliper.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
1. Assemble the new caliper pin bolts and boots
into the caliper.
NOTICE: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that
application. The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the
fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or
other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these
instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.
2. Install the bleeder valve on the caliper.
^
Tighten the bleeder valve to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs).
3. Assemble a new piston seal into the caliper bore.
