piston(s) can fly out with force and could result in serious bodily injury.
Notice: Use clean cloths to pad interior of caliper housing during piston removal. Use just enough air to ease the pistons out of the bores. If the
pistons are blown out, even with the padding provided, it may be damaged.
2. Remove the brake caliper piston from the caliper bore by directing low pressure compressed air into the caliper bore through the fluid inlet hole.
