14.6. FRONT CALLIPER OVERHAUL

- Remove the calliper (see 3B.6)
- Dismantle the brake calliper and remover the spring that holds the brake pads.
- Remove the nozzle between the two halves and the O-ring.
- Squeeze the piston from the cylinder with air. Hold with it a wooden board under the piston and watch out for your fingers. Never try to take out the piston with pliers because if it gets damaged is unusable.
- Remove the rubber rings from the grooves in the cylinders.
Do not do this with a sharp object.
- Take out the other half of the calliper the same way.
- Clean the parts in benzene and blow them dry with air. (Especially the inner grooves). - Check the calliper and pistons for signs of corrosion or damage and replace them if necessary.
- Submerge the two rubber rings in the LHM fluid and put the seal without the sealing lips in the inner groove and put the seal with the seal lips in the outer groove.
Work only with your hands!
- Dip the piston in the brake fluid and put it in the cylinder. Take similar steps for the other half calliper.
- Dip the O-ring in the brake fluid and insert the nozzle into the calliper.
- Attach the spring that holds the pads two halves.
- Install the calliper (see 3B.4)
- Install the brake pads (see 3B.7)
- Vent the system (see 3B.3)

Should some time pass before the calliper is mounted, it is then better to have the 2 mounting screws passed through and fix a M10 nut, the connections for the brake fluid pipe can be closed with a M8 bolt. (See photo).

While assembling, don’t forget to mount the retainer plate between the brake calliper and the container.
