To prevent injury, never place fingers or hands inside the caliper opening when removing the pistons. Always
wear eye, hand and face protection when using compressed air. Eye, face and skin damage will result from
direct contact with compressed air.
Ensure the seal grooves in the caliper bores are not damaged during the removal of the seals. Damage to
the seal grooves may allow brake fluid to leak past the seals resulting in a dangerous riding condition leading
to loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
1. Cover the caliper opening with a clean heavy cloth and using either compressed air or by reconnecting the
master cylinder and pumping the brake lever, remove the pistons one at a time.
