Cleaning & Inspection

Clean all metal parts in brake fluid.

NOTE: Do not use any mineral base solvents.

Blow out all fluid passages in grooves, with compressed air. Discard all rubber parts and replace with new parts from service kit. Inspect piston bores for scoring or pits. If bore cannot be cleaned with fine crocus cloth, caliper half must be replaced. Check fit of piston in bore, using feeler gauge. Clearance for 2 1/16" or 1 7/8" bore should be.0045-.010" and for 1 3/8" bore, clearance should be.0035-.009". If bore is not damaged and either clearance is exceeded, install new piston.
