- Clean the brake caliper piston bore and seal counterbore, and the caliper piston with denatured alcohol, or equivalent.
- Dry the caliper piston bore and counterbore, and the piston with non-lubricated, filtered air.
- Inspect the caliper bore for cracks, scoring, pitting, excessive rust, and/or excessive corrosion.
- If light rust or light corrosion are present in the caliper bore, attempt to remove the imperfection with a fine emery paper. If the imperfection cannot be removed, replace the caliper assembly.
- If cracks, scoring, pitting, excessive rust, and/or excessive corrosion are present in the caliper bore, replace the caliper assembly.
- Inspect the caliper piston for cracks, scoring, and/or damage to the finished surface area. Replace the caliper piston if any of these conditions exist.
