Brake Caliper leak Check
If a fluid leak is suspected, it may be due to leaked grease from behind the dust boot (grease is used as an aid during brake caliper assembly), remove the components to access the area and remove the excess grease from the brake pad back plate, the piston nose and the dust boots (as indicated). Brake cleaner will help remove the grease from the components. The original components can then be installed and a brake fluid leak test can be completed to confirm no leak is present.
- Apply the brake pedal firmly for a maximum of 5 applications.
- On completion of the fifth application check for leakage from the caliper pistons. If there is a leak present after the test install a new brake caliper Refer to: SPECIFICATIONS .
