Caliper Removal And Disassembly - Suzuki GSX1400 Service Manual

CALIPER REMOVAL AND DISASSEMBLY

• Drain the brake fluid. (
• Remove the brake pads. (
• Disconnect the brake hoses by removing the brake hose union
bolts.
NOTE:
Place a rag underneath the union bolt on the brake caliper to
catch any spilt brake fluid.
• Remove the brake calipers by removing the caliper mounting
bolts.
NOTE:
Slightly loosen the caliper housing bolts before removing the cali-
per mounting bolts to facilitate later disassembly.
Never reuse the brake fluid left over from previous ser-
vicing and stored for long periods of time.
Brake fluid, if it leaks, will interfere with safe running and
discolor painted surfaces. Check the brake hose and
hose joints for cracks and fluid leakage.
• Separate the caliper halves to remove the caliper housing bolts.
• Remove the O-ring.
Replace the O-ring with a new one.
• Place a rag over the pistons to prevent they from popping out
and then force out the pistons using compressed air.
Do not use high pressure air to prevent piston damage.
