Disc Brake Caliper - Front: Reassembly

  1. Dip new piston seal in clean brake fluid and gently work seal into groove until seated. Coat new piston boot with clean brake fluid, leaving a generous amount inside boot.
  2. Position dust boot over piston. Install piston, pushing it past seal until it bottoms in bore. Position boot in counterbore. Using a hammer and dust boot installer, drive boot into counterbore.
  3. Install new bushings on caliper by pressing in on bushings until seated. Be sure that bushing flanges extend evenly over caliper casting. Clean and lubricate caliper mounting adapter-to-caliper sliding contact surfaces.
