Caliper Inspection:

Figure 3 - Lubricating the Caliper Cavity:

Figure 4 - Caliper to Bracket Clearance:

When brake rotors are refinished, or whenever brake calipers are removed to service brake components, the calipers should be inspected. Check caliper mounting bolt and sleeve assemblies for corrosion and replace if corrosion is found. When reinstalling the caliper, liberally fill both cavities between the bushings in the housing with silicone grease (see Figure 3). Once reinstalled, the clearance between the caliper and the bracket should be checked. If necessary, remove the caliper and file the ends of the bracket stops to obtain 0.127 - 0.356 mm/side (0.005 - 0.014 inch/side) or 0.254 - 0.712 mm (0.010 - 0.028 inch) total clearance. Measure clearances individually and then together (see Figure 4).
