Caliper Removal

Fig. 1 Exploded View Of PBR Dual Piston Front Caliper:

1. Remove 2/3 of the total brake fluid capacity from master cylinder reservoir.
2. Raise and support vehicle, then remove tire and wheel assembly.
3. Install two wheel retaining nuts to retain rotor in position.
4. If caliper requires overhaul, remove inlet fitting attaching bolt, then disconnect inlet fitting from caliper housing. Discard the two gaskets, then plug openings in inlet fitting and caliper to prevent loss or contamination of fluid. Do not crimp brake hose, as this may damage internal structure of hose.
5. Remove circlip (11) and retaining pin (7), Fig. 1, then pull caliper off rotor and mounting bracket. If only shoe and linings require replacement, suspend caliper from upper control arm to prevent damage to brake hose.
