If necessary, lightly apply compressed air to the cal-
iper fluid inlet to get the piston and dust seal out.
Place a shop rag under the caliper to cushion the
piston when it is expelled.
Do not bring the air nozzle too close to the inlet or
the pistons may be forced out with excessive force
that could cause injury.
Use the air in short spurts.
Be careful not to damage the piston sliding surface.
Push the piston seal in and lift it out.
Clean the seal grooves, caliper piston and caliper
piston sliding surfaces with clean brake fluid.
