LUBRICATION POINTS <1-piston type> <2-piston type>
| DISASSEMBLY SERVICE POINTS When disassembling the disc brakes, disassemble both sides (left and right) as a set.
| <<A>> PISTON BOOT/PISTON REMOVAL <1-PISTON TYPE>
| CAUTION Blow air little by little to remove the piston. The piston will rush out if a force of air is applied suddenly. Place a piece of wood, etc. against the caliper body as shown. Blow compressed air through the brake hose to remove the piston boot and piston.
| <<B>> PISTON BOOT/PISTON REMOVAL <2-PISTON TYPE>
| CAUTION Blow air little by little to remove the piston. The piston will rush out if a force of air is applied suddenly. If one piston has been removed completely, it will become impossible to remove the second piston. Remove the piston and the piston boot by pumping in air from the brake hose connection. Be sure to use the handle of a plastic hammer and adjust the height of the two pistons so that the pistons protrude evenly.
| <<C>> PISTON SEAL REMOVAL CAUTION Do not use a flat-tipped screwdriver or similar tool to remove piston seal. These may damage the inner side of the cylinder.
| Remove the piston seal with your finger tip. Clean the piston surface and inner cylinder with alcohol or brake fluid DOT 3 or DOT 4.
