2. Drain the brake fluid from the caliper, hose, and mas-
ter cylinder through the bleed screw by pumping the
brake pedal.
PR235
NOTE: Whenever brake components are removed,
disassembled, or repaired where brake fluid is
exposed to air, drain all fluid and replace with new
DOT 4 brake fluid from an unopened container.
Brake fluid readily absorbs moisture from the air sig-
nificantly lowering the boiling point. This increases
the chance of vapor lock reducing braking power and
increasing stopping distance.
3. Remove the brake hose from the caliper and close
the bleed screw; then remove the caliper.
4. Compress the caliper holder against the caliper
(opposite the O-ring side) and remove the outer
brake pad; then remove the inner brake pad.
NOTE: If brake pads are to be returned to service,
do not allow brake fluid to contaminate them.

5. Remove the caliper holder from the caliper and dis-
card the O-ring.
PR239B
NOTE: The O-ring is used for shipping purposes
and provides no function in operation.
6. Cover the piston end of the housing with a shop
towel; then keeping fingers clear of piston travel,
apply compressed air to the fluid port to blow the
piston free of the housing. Account for two seal rings
in the housing.

CAUTION
Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Do not spill brake fluid
on any surface of the vehicle and do not reuse brake
fluid.
