Rear Disc Brake Caliper: Inspection

  1. Clean all parts in brake fluid or alcohol. Air dry parts. Inspect caliper bore for scratches, scoring or rust. Minor damage can be removed by polishing with crocus cloth.
    CAUTION: Never use gasoline or kerosene when cleaning caliper parts.
  2. Inspect needle roller bearing, strut, adjusting bolt, and parking brake crank for corrosion, wear or damage. Check torsion spring and conical spring for corrosion, weakness or damage.
  3. Check piston and sleeve nut for excessive play. It should be within .012-.020" (.3-.5 mm).
