Disassembly

1. Remove the pad spring from the caliper body.





2. If necessary, apply compressed air to the caliper fluid inlet to get the pistons out. Place a shop rag or wooden block as shown to cushion the pistons when they are expelled. Use low pressure air in short spurts.

WARNING:
- Do not place your fingers in front of the piston.
- Do not use high air pressure; use an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)-approved 30 PSI nozzle.





3. Remove the piston boots and piston seals.

CAUTION: Take care not to damage the cylinders.
