In addition, if there is any brake fluid on the wiring harness, the wire insulation may corrode causing a malfunction such as a short circuit. If brake fluid gets on a painted surface or wiring harness, wash and flush it off completely with water immediately.

Caution

•  Before installing the caliper, verify that the dust seal does not protrude from the piston surface. Otherwise, the dust seal may be damaged and the braking performance could worsen.

•  Do not use a sharp-tipped tool when inserting the dust seal. Otherwise, the dust seal may be damaged.

1.  Clean the exposed area of the piston.

2.  Push the piston in using the commercially available disc brake expand tool.
