Remove the O-ring 3.
Place a rag over the pistons to prevent it from popping out
and then force out the pistons using compressed air.
Never reuse the brake fluid left over from previous
servicing and stored for long periods of time.
Brake fluid, if it leaks, will interfere with safe running
and discolor painted surfaces. Check the brake hose
and hose joints for cracks and fluid leakage.
Replace the O-ring with a new one.
Avoid using high pressure air to prevent piston dam-
age.
