2. Expose flexible brake hose by moving coiled

protective covering.

3. Using a recognised hose clamp, clamp hose to

prevent loss of brake fluid.

4. Disconnect rigid brake pipe from flexible hose,

seal exposed ends to prevent ingress of dirt.

Repair

Do not separate caliper halves

7. Clean outer surfaces of caliper using aerosol

brake cleaner.

8. Using special tool LRT-70-500, clamp pistons in

inboard half of caliper. Gently, keeping fingers
clear, and with CAUTION, apply air pressure to
fluid inlet port to expel pistons. It is unlikely that
pistons will expel at same time, regulate rate
with a suitable piece of wood between
appropriate piston and caliper.

9. Finally remove pistons, identifying them with

their respective bores.

10. Remove wiper seal retainer by inserting a blunt

screwdriver between retainer and seal. Pry
retainer carefully from mouth of bore.

wiper seal and fluid seal.

12. Clean bores, pistons and seal grooves using

clean brake fluid only. If caliper or pistons are
corroded, or their condition is not perfect, new
parts must be fitted.
