Caliper Piston and Cylinder Damage
•
Visually inspect the piston [E] and cylinder surfaces.
Replace the caliper if the cylinder and piston are badly
scores or rusty.
Fluid Seal [A]
Dust Seal [B ]
Rubber Boot [C]
Front Caliper [J]
Rear Caliper [K]
Caliper Holder Shaft Wear
The caliper body must slide smoothly on the caliper holder
shaft [F]. 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 shaft are not badly
worn or stepped, and that the rubber friction boots [D] are
not damaged.
If the rubber friction boot is damaged, replace the rubber
friction boot. To replace the friction boot, remove the pads
and the caliper bracket.
If the caliper holder shaft is damage, replace the caliper
bracket.
