Front Disc Brake Caliper: Reassembly
CAUTION:
Do not use denatured alcohol to clean rubber components or assemblies that have rubber components. Cleaning rubber components with denatured alcohol weakens the rubber and may result in failure of the component.
CAUTION:
Never allow any petroleum product or mineral oil to contact the inside of a brake hydraulic system. Mineral oil and petroleum products deteriorate the natural rubber seals used in brake hydraulic system. If a brake system becomes contaminated, it must be flushed with clean brake fluid and all rubber seals and flex hoses replaced. Use DOT 3 brake fluid.
NOTE:
Be sure the seal is not twisted and is firmly seated in the caliper bore.
NOTE:
Clean all brake caliper components. All parts must be air-dried completely. Coat all internal parts and piston seals with DOT 3 brake fluid before installation.
To assemble, reverse the disassembly procedure. Tighten all fasteners to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
