General Description

The caliper used on this vehicle has a single bore and is mounted to the support bracket with two mounting bolts. Hydraulic pressure created by applying the brake pedal, is converted by the caliper to a stopping force. This force acts equally against the piston and the bottom of the caliper bore to move the piston outward and to move (slide) the caliper inward resulting in a clamping action on the rotor. This clamping action forces the pads against the rotor, creating friction to stop the vehicle.

Important:
^ Replace all components included in repair kits used to service this caliper.
^ Lubricate rubber parts with clean brake fluid to ease assembly.
^ Do not use lubricated compressed air on brake parts as damage to rubber components may result.
^ If any hydraulic component is removed or disconnected, it may be necessary to bleed all or part of the brake system.
^ Replace brake pads in axle sets only.
^ The tightening specifications are for dry, unlubricated fasteners.
^ Perform service operations on a clean bench, free from all mineral oil materials.
