ADMINISTRATION (OSHA) AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) FOR THE HANDLING, PROCESSING, AND
DISPOSING OF DUST OR DEBRIS THAT MAY CONTAIN ASBESTOS FIBERS.
To clean or flush the internal passages of the brake caliper, use fresh brake fluid or Mopar Non-Chlorinated Brake Parts Cleaner. Never use gasoline,
kerosene, alcohol, oil, transmission fluid or any fluid containing mineral oil to clean the caliper. These fluids will damage rubber cups and seals.
INSPECTION - DISC BRAKE CALIPER

^
Brake fluid leaks in and around piston boot area
^
Ruptures, brittleness or damage to the piston dust boot
If caliper fails inspection, disassemble and recondition caliper, replacing the seals and dust boots.
ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Always use new, clean Mopar DOT 3 brake fluid when assembling the brake caliper. Never use an old piston seal.
1. Dip the new piston seal in clean brake fluid and install it in the groove of the caliper bore (Fig. 65). The seal should be started at one area of the
groove and gently worked around into the groove using only your clean fingers to seat it.
2. Coat the new piston with clean brake fluid.
3. Coat the new piston boot with clean brake fluid leaving a generous amount inside the boot.
4. Position the dust boot over the lower section of the piston (Fig. 66).
5. Extend the dust boot below the bottom of the piston and guide the lip seal into the groove in the caliper piston bore.
CAUTION: Force applied to the piston to seat it in the bore must be applied uniformly to avoid cocking and binding of the piston.
