Insert the pad pin through the hole into the caliper and through the tab on both pads Using a 2 5mm Allen wrench tighten the pad pin to 18 2in lbs 2 0 0 3 Nm 8 Attach the pad pin retaining clip Caution Wear protective eyewear when working with spring clips 9 Install the wheel If B Piston s Pumped Out Figure 3 the brake lever is stroked without the disc between the pads and this is possible when brake pads are being changed the self adjusting feature will allow the pads to push out The caliper pistons will be pumped out of their bore This would cause excessive drag on the disc when the wheel and disc are reinstalled or even make it impossible to install the wheel and disc To fix this problem 1 Remove the brake pads from the caliper if they are not already removed Hint f the pads are pushed together tight slide the travel spacer between the pads and enlarge the gap until it is large enough to pull the pads out 2 With the pads removed push the pistons all the way back into the caliper using the box end of a8mm wrench Caution Don t push on the post in the center of the piston because that will bend the post Walk the piston back and forth until the piston is all the way back in the bore Do the same thing on the other side 3 When the pistons are back into their bores replace the pads C Cleaning and Care The brake disc and pads should only be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol not disc brake cleaner
3. Remove the pistons from the caliper with pressurized air Warning Wear safety glasses Caution Do not grab hold of the piston post with pliers This can destroy the piston Avoid chipping the piston Blow it onto a clean lint free rag or other soft surface 6 With your finger tip sealing off the bleeder or banjo hole angle the caliper so the piston is facing downward then direct pressurized air thru the hole that connects the 2 halves together This will force the piston out of the caliper 7 Carefully remove the square seal inside the piston The replacement kit will consist of a new piston and square seal Caution Do not scratch the groove in the piston This can cause leakage Use a sharpened wood or plastic stick 8 Remove the piston and square seal from the opposing caliper half in the same way 9 Clean all of the parts Then rinse each part with isopropyl alcohol Be sure to clean the caliper through all of the holes 10 Wipe down each part to remove the residue Then use compressed air to blow dry and remove all of the remaining dirt etc For both caliper halves be sure to blow compressed air through both the bleeder hole and the transfer port and all around the square seal groove Note Take extra care to get the square seal grooves free of any hair dirt scratches etc that could cause the caliper to leak 45 21883Web page 4 Piston Assembly 15 Begin re assembly of the caliper by lightly lubricating the new square s
