Front Disc Brake Caliper Assembly
This caliper has a single bore and is mounted to steering knuckle with two mounting bolts. Hydraulic pressure created by pressing brake pedal, is converted by caliper to a stopping force. This force acts equally against piston and bottom of caliper bore. It moves piston outward and slides caliper inward, resulting in a clamping action on rotor. This clamping action forces linings against rotor, creating friction to stop vehicle.
CAUTION:
- Replace all components included in repair kits used to service caliper.
- Lubricate rubber parts with clean brake fluid to ease assembly.
- Do not use lubricated shop air on brake parts as damage to rubber components may result.
- If any hydraulic component is removed or disconnected it may be necessary to bleed all or part of brake system.
- Replace pads in axle sets only.
- The torque values specified are for dry unlubricated fasteners.
- Perform service operations on a clean bench, free from all mineral oil materials.
