4. Remove piston seals from cylinder body, using a suitable tool.CAUTION:
• Be careful not to damage cylinder inner wall.
• Do not reuse piston seals.
5. Remove the bleed valve and cap.
CALIPER INSPECTION
Cylinder Body
Check inside surface of cylinder for score, rust, wear, damage or foreign materials. If any of the above condi-
tions are observed, replace cylinder body.
Minor damage from rust or foreign materials may be el iminated by polishing surface with a fine emery paper.
Replace cylinder body if necessary.
CAUTION:
Use new brake fluid for cleaning. Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene.
Torque Member
Check for wear, cracks, and damage. If damage or def ormation is present, replace the affected part.
Piston
Check piston for score, rust, wear, damage or presence of foreign materials. Replace if any of the above con-
ditions are observed.
CAUTION:
Piston sliding surface is plated, do not polish with emery paper even if rust or foreign materials are
stuck to sliding surface.
Sliding Pins, and Sliding Pin Boots
Check sliding pin and sliding pin boot for wear, damage, and cracks. If damage or deformation is present,
replace the affected part.
CAUTION:
Trailing/upper slidi ng pin must be replaced at each service.
ASSEMBLY
1. Install bleed valve and cap.
2. Apply rubber grease to new piston seals and insert seals into
grooves on cylinder body.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse piston seals.

3. Apply rubber grease to piston boots. Cover the piston ends with piston boots, and then install cylinder side lip on piston boots
securely into the grooves on cylinder body.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse piston boots.
4. Apply clean brake fluid to pistons (1), then install pistons into cyl- inder body and insert piston boot (2) side lip into groove of pis-
tons as shown.
CAUTION:
Press the pistons evenly to prevent damage to cylinder
wall.
5. Apply rubber grease and install new sliding pins, bushing and sliding pin boots to torque member.
6. Install cylinder body. Tighten sliding pin bolts to the specified torque.
