[[A]] PISTON BOOT/PISTON REMOVAL
CAUTION:
- Blow air little by little to remove the pistons.
The pistons will rush out if a force of air is applied suddenly.
- If one piston has been removed completely, it will become impossible to remove the second piston.
Remove the pistons and the piston boots by pumping in air from the brake hose connection.
Be sure to use the handle of a plastic hammer and adjust the height of the two pistons so that the pistons protrude evenly.
[[B]] PISTON SEAL REMOVAL
1.
CAUTION:
Do not use a flat-tipped screwdriver or similar tool to remove the piston seal. These may damage the inner side of the cylinder.
Remove the piston seal with your finger tip.
2. Clean the piston surface and cylinder inner face with alcohol or specified brake fluid.
