CALIPER INSPECTION
Check caliper for piston seal leaks (brake fluid in

ruptures of the piston dust boot. If boot is damaged,
or fluid leak is visible, disassemble caliper and
install a new seal and boot, (and piston if scored).
Refer to Caliper Disassembly And Re-Assembly Pro-
cedures in Disc Brake Caliper Service in this section

ings to determine if they are in good condition.
Replace if they are damaged, dry, or found to be brit-
tle. Refer to Guide Pin Bushing Service in Disc
