Rear Brake Caliper
Procedure
|
1.
|
Compress the brake cylinder piston slightly using a large C-clamp to facilitate removal of the caliper. Do NOT exceed 1 mm (0.039 inch) of brake cylinder piston travel.
|
|
3.
|
With the engine OFF, gradually apply the brake pedal to approximately 2/3 of its travel distance.
|
|
4.
|
Slowly release the brake pedal.
|
|
5.
|
Wait 15 seconds, then repeat steps 3-4 until a firm brake pedal is obtained. This will properly seat the brake caliper piston and brake pads.
|
|
6.
|
Fill the master cylinder reservoir.
|
|
7.
|
Connect the park brake cable to the actuator lever on the caliper.
|
|
Note
|
|
New brake calipers come prepared filled with brake fluid. Do NOT drain brake fluid from a new caliper before installing. Draining the brake fluid from the new brake caliper will prevent the brake caliper from bleeding properly.
