caliper overhaul
1
Use a 5 mm hex wrench to remove the brake caliper from the fork
or frame and remove the caliper mounting bracket and hardware
from the caliper. Set aside in the correct order.
2
Remove the e-clip from the pad retainer bolt. Use a 2.5 mm hex
wrench to remove the pad retainer bolt from the caliper.
3
Pull on the brake pad tabs to remove the pads and pad spreader
clip.
If the total thickness of the backing plate and pad friction material
is less than 3 mm, the brake pads need to be replaced.
4
Use an 8 mm open end wrench to remove the banjo bolt, and a
T25 TORX® wrench to remove the caliper body bolt.
Brake fluid will leak, so hold the caliper over a container
to catch the fluid.
Set the hose and banjo fitting aside
5
Separate the caliper body halves.
