CAUTION: When prying the piston back into the
bore of the caliper do not use a hard pry bar. The
use of a hard pry bar will damage the braking sur-
face of the rotor.
(3) Slightly pry the piston back into the bore of the
disc brake caliper. The piston is to be pryed back by
inserting a soft tool (such as a trim stick) between
the inboard brake shoe and the rotor and prying
against the inboard brake shoe. This will force the
piston back into the caliper.
(4) Remove the 2 brake caliper to steering knuckle
guide pin bolts (Fig. 47).
(5) Remove brake caliper from steering knuckle, by
first rotating bottom of brake caliper away from the
steering knuckle. Then slide top of brake shoes down
and out from the top machined abutment on steering
knuckle (Fig. 48).
(6) Support brake caliper from upper control
arm to prevent weight of caliper from being
supported by brake flex hose. Supporting disc
brake caliper from flex hose can damage the
hose (Fig. 49).
(7) Remove the brake rotor from the front hub
(Fig. 50).
(8) Remove outboard brake shoe by pushing the
brake shoe inward until retaining pins on brake shoe
can be removed from holes in caliper (Fig. 51). Then
slide the brake shoe off the caliper.
(9) Pull inboard brake shoe away from piston until
retaining clip is free from cavity in piston (Fig. 52).
CALIPER INSPECTION
Check caliper for piston seal leaks (brake fluid in
and around boot area and inboard lining) and for any
ruptures of the piston dust boot. If boot is damaged,
or fluid leak is visible, disassemble caliper and
install a new seal and boot, (and piston if scored).
Refer to Caliper Disassembly And Re-Assembly Pro-
cedures in Disc Brake Caliper Service in this section
of the service manual.
