Caliper Fluid Seal Damage
The fluid seal (piston seal) [A] is placed around the pis-
ton to maintain clearance between the pad and the disc. If
the seal is in a poor c ondition, it could l ead the pad to wear
excessively or the brake to drag, which m ay cause the tem-
perature of the discs or the brake fluid to increase.
•
Replace the fluid seal if it exhibits any of the conditions
listed below.
○
Brake fluid leakage around the pad.
○
Brakes overheat.
○
Considerable difference in inner and outer pad wear.
○
Seal and piston are stuck together.
If the fluid seal is replaced, replace the dust seal [B] as
well. Also, replace all seals every other time the pads are
changed.
