2-34 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Front Brake Calip er Fluid Seal Replacement
The fluid seals [A] around the piston maintain the proper
pad/disc clearance. If the seals are not satisfactory, pad
wear will increase, and constant pad drag on the disc will
raise brake and brake fluid temperature.
•
Replace the fluid seals in accordance with the Periodic
Maintenance Chart or under any of the following condi-
tions: (a) fluid leakage around the pad; (b) brakes over-
heat; (c) there is a large difference in inner and outer pad
wear; (d) the seal is stuck to the piston.
If the fluid seal is replaced, replace the dust seal as well.
Also, replace all seals every other time the pads are
changed.
