Piston and boot
- Before inserting piston (1) into cylinder, apply brake fluid to new cylinder boot (a) and piston (1). Install cylinder boot onto piston as shown in figure.
- Fit boot as it is in above figure into boot groove in cylinder with fingers.
- Insert piston into cylinder by hand and fit boot in boot groove in piston.
- To confirm that boot is fitted in its groove in cylinder properly, pull piston out of cylinder a little but do not take it all out.NOTE: Boot's face (1) should be at the same level from cylinder's face (2) all around.
- Install piston into cylinder by hand.
Caliper
Before installing caliper (cylinder body) to carrier, check to ensure that guide pin (pin bolt) inserted in each caliper carrier hole can be moved smoothly in thrust direction.
NOTE: Where temperature gets as low as -30°C in cold weather, use rubber grease whose viscosity varies very little even at -40°C (-40°F).
