prevent loss of brake fluid.
4. Disconnect rigid brake pipe from flexible hose,
seal exposed ends to prevent ingress of dirt.

withdraw pads. If refitting pads, identify them for
assembly to original locations.

housing.
WARNING: Do not separate caliper halves

brake cleaner.
8. Using special tool LRT-70-500, clamp pistons in
inboard half of caliper. Gently, keeping fingers
clear, and with CAUTION, apply air pressure to
fluid inlet port to expel pistons. It is unlikely that
pistons will expel at same time, regulate rate
with a suitable piece of wood between

screwdriver between retainer and seal. Pry
retainer carefully from mouth of bore.

corroded, or their condition is not perfect, new
parts must be fitted.
