Install the pads (see Brake Pad Installation).
Fluid Seal Damage
The fluid seals [A] around the piston maintain the proper
pad/disc clearance. If the seals are not satisfactory, pad
wear w ill increase, and constant pad drag on the disc will
raise brake and brake fluid temperature.
•
Replace the fluid seals in accordance with the Periodic
Maintenance Chart or under any of the following condi-
tions: (a) fluid leakage around the pad; (b) brakes over-
heat; (c) there is a large difference in inner and outer pad
wear; (d) the seal is stuck to the piston.
If the fluid seal is replaced, replace the dust seal as well.
Also, replace all seals every other time the pads are
changed.
Dust Seal and Friction Boot Damage
•
Replace the dust seals [A] in accordance with the Peri-
odic Maintenance Chart or check that the dust seals and
friction boots [B] are not cracked, worn swollen, or other-
wise damaged.
If they show any damage, replace them.
