Overhaul
To Disassemble:
1. Remove the caliper from the vehicle and place on a clean workbench.
WARNING
NEVER place your fingers in front of the pistons in an attempt to catch or protect
the pistons when applying compressed air. This could result in personal injury!
NOTE:
Depending upon the vehicle, there are two different procedures to remove
the piston from the caliper. Refer to the brake pad replacement procedure to make
sure you have the correct procedure for your vehicle.
2. The first procedure is as follows:
A. Stuff a shop towel or a block of wood into the caliper to catch the piston.
B. Remove the caliper piston using compressed air applied into the caliper
inlet hole. Inspect the piston for scoring, nicks, corrosion and/or worn or
damaged chrome plating. The piston must be replaced if any of these
conditions are found.
C.
