DISASSEMBLY SERVICE POINTS

[A] PISTON BOOT/PISTON REMOVAL

CAUTION:
Do not remove one piston separately before trying to remove the other piston, because it will become impossible to remove other pistons.






Remove the pistons by pumping in air slowly from the brake hose connection. Be sure to use a wood block and adjust the height of the two pistons while so that the pistons protrude evenly.

[B] PISTON SEAL REMOVAL

CAUTION:
To prevent damage to inner cylinder, do not use a flat-tipped screwdriver or other tool.


1. Remove the piston seal with finger tip.
2. Clean the piston surface and cylinder inner face with alcohol or specified brake fluid.
Brake fluid: DOT3 or DOT4
