Warning
|
|
Suspend the brake caliper with a strong steel wire or similar. This applies every time the caliper is removed from its mounting with the brake hose is still attached. Failure to support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to bear the weight of the caliper, which may cause damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak.

Inspect the brake caliper guide pins for freedom of movement, and inspect the condition of the guide pin boots. Move the guide pins inboard and outboard within the bracket bores, without disengaging the slides from the boots, and observe for the following:
|
|
|
•
|
Restricted caliper guide pin movement.
|
|
|
•

With the engine OFF, gradually apply the brake pedal to approximately 2/3 of its travel distance and slowly release the brake pedal.
|
|
9.
|
Wait 15 seconds, then repeat steps 2-3 until a firm brake pedal is obtained. This will properly seat the brake caliper pistons and brake pads.
|
|
