damage
it
against
the
outboard
portion
of the caliper. A thin block
of wood or
hardboard
located in the
position
of the
outboard
shoe will
assure the piston is not
damaged.
(11) As
the piston
slides out, the
I.D. of the rubber boot in the
groove
of the
piston
should
stretch out
around
the large portion
of the pis-
