Piston and Cylinder Damage
•
Visually inspect the piston [A] and cylinder surfaces [B].
Replace the caliper if the cylinder and piston are badly
scored or rusty.
Caliper Holder Shaft Wear Inspection
The caliper body must slide smoothly on the caliper holder
shafts [A]. If the body does not slide smoothly, one pad will
wear more than the other, pad wear will increase, and con-
stant drag on the disc will raise brake and brake fluid tem-
perature.
•
Check to see that the caliper holder shafts are not badly
worn or stepped, and that the rubber friction boots [B] are
not damaged.
If the rubber friction boot is damaged, replace the rubber
friction boot.
If caliper holder shaft is damaged, replace the caliper
holder shaft and rubber friction boot as a unit.
