Rear Disc Brake Caliper: Reassembly

  1. Assemble the caliper in the reverse order of disassembly. Use new piston and dust seals. Three kinds of grease contained in seal kit must be used.
  2. White grease is for caliper slide bolts and mounting bolts. Orange grease is for bearings, adjusting bolt, strut and piston boot. Pink grease is for piston seal.
  3. Lubricate the piston and caliper bore with clean brake fluid. Press in needle roller bearing so that arrow on bearing faces outward.
  4. Assemble conical spring and adjusting bolt. See Fig 2 . Install adjusting bolt assembly, strut and torsion spring in the caliper. Install piston using disc brake wrench, as described under Disc Brake Pad Installation.
