Front Brake Caliper: Disassembly

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 1998 Suzuki X-90, 1998 Suzuki Swift, 1998 Suzuki Sidekick, 1998 Suzuki Esteem, and 1997 Suzuki X-90. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove caliper piston boot retaining ring (if equipped) and boot. Place a narrow wooden block between piston and caliper that will allow piston to clear its bore and not be damaged by caliper end when removed.
  2. Using low pressure compressed air, apply air into caliper fitting hole to force piston out of caliper. Remove wood block and piston. Remove piston seal (use small flat bladed screwdriver if necessary). Remove bleeder screw and cap.
