Important:
• Install all new components included in the repair kit used to
service this caliper. • Lubricate the rubber parts using clean brake fluid in order to
ease assembly. • Do not use lubricated compressed air on brake parts. Damage to
rubber components may result. • If you remove or disconnect any hydraulic component, bleed all
or part of the brake system. • Replace the shoe and linings in axle sets only. • The tightening specifications are for dry, unlubricated fasteners. • Perform all service operations on a clean bench, free from all
mineral oil materials.
This caliper has a single bore. The caliper is mounted to the steering knuckle with two mounting bolts. Applying the brake pedal creates hydraulic pressure. The caliper converts the hydraulic pressure to a stopping force. This force acts equally against the caliper piston and the bottom of the caliper bore in order to perform the following functions:
| • | Move the piston outward. |
| • | Move (slide) the caliper inward. |
This results in a clamping action on the rotor. The clamping action forces the linings against the rotor, creating friction in order to stop the vehicle.
