Brake Caliper: Disassembly

  1. Clean exterior of caliper with denatured alcohol and place on a clean work surface. Remove brake hose and discard copper gasket. Drain fluid from caliper.
    CAUTION: Do not attempt to catch or protect piston with fingers while applying compressed air.
  2. Using clean shop towels to pad interior of caliper, apply just enough clean compressed air to caliper inlet so piston will ease out of bore.
  3. Using a screwdriver, pry boot out of caliper. Pry piston seal from caliper using a piece of wood or plastic. DO NOT use a metal tool as bore may be damaged, requiring caliper replacement. Remove bleeder valve from caliper.
