INSPECTION :

Clean all the internal parts thoroughly with fresh

brake fluid or alcohol. Do not use mineral oil like

kerosene, petrol, diesel etc. After thoroughly

cleaning, examine all parts for damages and

corrosion.

Check the various parts for the following:

Piston :

Outer surface should be free from nicks, score or

rust and should feel smooth to touch. Do not use

emery paper on piston surface.

Caliper Housing :

Bores should be free from score, pitting and

corrosion. The seal grooves in the bore should be

thoroughly cleaned and no nicks should be there

at the edges. If the above conditions are

satisfactory then replacement with appropriate kit

will give satisfactory performance. If not the

caliper assembly should be replaced.

Carrier :

Remove the grease from sliding pin bores and

clean the bores thoroughly. The carrier-machined

surface should be free from any damages; hit

marks etc. and the sliding pin bores should be

free from ovality and damages. Check for the

carrier mounting bolts.

Sliding Pins :

Should be free from rust, bends and step

formation due to wear. If necessary, replace the

sliding pin with new one.
