Caliper For Leaks
Inspect the following areas for fluid leaks (Figure 8-12).

Leaks
• Pistons. If fluid leaks at a piston, disassemble the
caliper. Inspect the piston, the bore, the o-rings, and
back-up rings. Service as necessary.
• Cylinder Cap. If fluid leaks at a cylinder cap, tighten the
cylinder cap, the inlet fitting, and the plug. If the leak
continues, disassemble the caliper. Inspect the cylinder
cap threads, the housing threads, and the O-ring.
Service as necessary.
• Bleeder Screw. If fluid leaks at the bleeder screw,
tighten the bleeder screw. If the leak continues, replace
the bleeder screw.
• Inlet Fitting. If fluid leaks at the inlet fitting, tighten the
fitting. If the leak continues, replace the O-ring.
Dust Seals
Ensure the dust seals are soft and flexible. Disassemble the
caliper and replace dust seals that are hard or damaged.
Disc
If the disc is worn beyond the wear limits, replace the disc
(Figure 8-13).

components if they are worn beyond wear limits or if
there are large scratches or large amount of corrosion.
2. Measure the diameter of the piston. Replace the piston if
the outer diameter is worn to less than 2.995 in (76.073
mm) (Figure 8-14).
