Brake Caliper: Reassembly
Lubricate bore in caliper and new piston seal with clean brake fluid. Position seal in caliper bore groove. Lubricate piston with clean brake fluid and assemble new boot into groove in piston with fold facing open end of piston. Insert piston into caliper bore, using care not to unseat seal. Do not force piston to bottom of bore. Position outer diameter of boot in caliper counterbore and seat, using suitable tool (J-22904). Check boot installation to ensure retaining ring (molded into boot) is not bent, and that boot is installed completely below caliper face. Install brake hose, using new copper gasket.
NOTE:
After overhaul is complete and caliper installed, it must be bled. See HYDRAULIC BRAKE BLEEDING in this Section.
