B Inspection and replacement of caliper components
The replacement of the sealing gaskets is necessary
when fluid leakages occur. Fluid traces will be seen
on the brake discs and calipers and the fluid level
in the reservoirs will get lower and lower.
Fluid leakages also involve poor braking efficiency
and an elastic movement of the control lever or
pedal.
The caliper gaskets are replaced as follows :
Remove and plug up fluid delivery pipe.
2 Remove caliper from fork members.
3
Remove the pad housing cover.
4
Remove spring and pins and take out pads.
5 Separate both hail-calipers.
6 Remove dust guard cap from the leaking caliper
body.
7 Remove piston 'rom caliper half using a compres-
sed air jet, paying attention not to score the piston
surface.
8 Remove the defective gasket from its housing
by the aid of a needle taking care not to score the
cylinder walls.
9
Clean accurately the piston and cylinder hou-
sing, checking their condition.
It
is well also to check
l t ~
01 the cylinder housing and 0 10 of the piston.
