CALIPER INSPECTION
Check for piston seal leaks (brake fluid in and
around boot area and inboard lining) and for any
ruptures of the piston dust boot. If boot is damaged,
or fluid leak is visible, disassemble caliper assembly
and install a new seal and boot, (and piston if
scored). Refer to procedures titled Disc Brake Caliper
Disassembly.
Check the caliper dust boot and caliper pin bush-
ings to determine if they are in good condition.
Replace if they are damaged, dry, or found to be brit-
tle. Refer to Cleaning And Inspection Of Brake Cali-
per.

ing a caliper after new brake shoes have been

ton bore of caliper assembly.
(2) Lubricate both adapter abutments with a lib-
eral amount of Mopar
