brake hose above rear axle.

inserted between two pistons.

9. Finally, remove pistons keeping them identified

with their respective bores.

10. Remove wiper seal retainer by inserting a blunt

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

11. Taking care not to damage seal grooves, extract

wiper seal and fluid seal.

12. Clean bores, pistons and particularly seal

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