Service Notes

The disc brake caliper assembly used on the Viper is a multi (4) piston caliper. This multi piston caliper design, requires each piston of the caliper assembly be disassembled and assembled one at a time rather then doing the entire caliper at once. The service procedures which follow, list the entire disassembly and assembly of each caliper half.

CAUTION: Excessive vise pressure can cause distortion of the caliper mounting bosses, this can affect the alignment of the caliper assembly with the braking disc.

When clamping the disc brake caliper assembly in a vise, protective caps should be used on the jaws of the vise.
