DISASSEMBLY - CALIPER PISTON AND SEAL
NOTE: Before disassembling brake caliper, clean and inspect it.
WARNING: UNDER NO CONDITION SHOULD HIGH PRESSURE AIR EVER BE USED TO REMOVE A PISTON FROM A CALIPER
BORE. PERSONAL INJURY COULD RESULT FROM SUCH A PRACTICE.
CAUTION: Do not use excessive force when clamping caliper in vise. Excessive vise pressure will cause bore distortion.
1) Mount caliper in a vise equipped with protective jaws.
2) Place a wooden block in caliper as shown (Fig. 29). Block should be sized to allow piston to push out of bore far enough to be removed by hand
after being loosened by air pressure, yet large enough keep piston from coming completely out utilizing air pressure.
WARNING: DO NOT PLACE FACE OR HANDS NEAR CALIPER AND PISTON IF USING COMPRESSED AIR PRESSURE TO
REMOVE PISTON. DO NOT USE HIGH PRESSURE.
