Front Disc Brake Caliper Disassembly and Assembly: Disassembly

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Suzuki SX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Clean around caliper with brake fluid before disassembly.
  1. Remove disc brake piston with air blown into flexible hose joint bolt installation hole.
    WARNING: Do not apply too highly compressed air which will cause piston to jump out of cylinder. Place a cloth (1) to prevent piston from damage. It should be taken out gradually with moderately compressed air. Do not place your fingers in front of piston when using compressed air.
