Wagoneer L6-258 4.2L VIN C 2-bbl (1982)
Brake Caliper: Description and Operation
Two Wheel Drive Models
Jeep, Type 2 Front Brakes, 2WD
The disc brake is of the sliding caliper, single piston design. All models are equipped with either an integral type hub and rotor or a two piece hub and
rotor. Although caliper designs differ in construction, operation and service procedures remain the same. The caliper is a one-piece casting containing a
piston, piston bore, bleeder screw and inlet ports. A rubber dust boot with integral metal retainer is used on all models except 1980-81 CJ models, which
use a solid rubber boot. The dust boot is positioned in a counterbore machined in the upper edge of the piston bore and in a groove machined in the
exterior surface of the piston.
Lining wear is compensated for by the lateral sliding movement of the caliper and by increased piston extension.
