- Replace boot, piston seal, rubber bushings and sleeves each time caliper is overhauled.
- Clean all parts in denatured alcohol. Dry all parts with dry filtered compressed air.
NOTE:
Using lubricated shop air will leave a film of mineral oil on metal parts. This may damage rubber parts upon contact at reassembly.
- Check mounting bolts for corrosion, brakes in plating or other damage.
NOTE:
Replace bolts if corroded, do not attempt to clean them.
- Check outside diameter of piston for scoring, nicks, corrosion, worn or damaged plating. If surface defects exist, replace piston.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to refinish piston with abrasives.
- Check piston bore in caliper for scratches or other damage. Minor scratches or corrosion may be polished clean with crocus or emery cloth. Thoroughly clean bore after polishing. Replace caliper if corrosion is not easily cleaned.
