DISMANTLING OF CALIPER

Apply parking brake & keep the gear shift lever in

neutral position.

Jack up the front of the vehicle and remove wheels.

Disconnect the hose from the chassis anchoring point

and block the bundy pipe with bleed screw dust cover

to prevent loss of brake fluid. As explained in fitment

of new pads, remove pads by swinging the caliper.

The caliper can be taken out from the carrier by sliding

the caliper body towards inboard of the disc.

(Fig.10)Take out the remaining sliding pin left in the

carrier by releasing the sliding pin boot from the carrier.

Remove hose fromcaliper body by taking out the banjo

bolt.

After cleaning the surfaces with a cloth, remove the

dust boot from caliper body as well as from the piston

by pulling the same with fingers.

Keep a wooden piece in between the plunger and the

caliper body and blow compressed air into the caliper

gradually through the inlet port. Fig. 11 Now you will

observe the piston coming out of the caliper gradually.

Remove sealing ring from the groove in the caliper

housing by using a thin blunt screw driver, taking care

not to damage the bore. Remove the bleed screw from

caliper body.

Note :

1. Take care to avoid puncturing of the dust boot while

removal.

2. Replace punctured boot.

3. Do not apply high compressed air, which will cause

piston to jump out of the cylinder. It should be taken

out gradually withmoderately compressed air about

2 bar.

Caution :

Do not place your fingers in front of piston

when using compressed air. Fig 11.
