Q: What is the installation procedure for the boot and piston.?
A:
You need to install the boot over the end of the piston so that the fold will face toward the brake caliper housing piston bore opening, and seat the boot into the brake caliper bore groove. Slide the piston into the brake caliper bore, push down the piston to the bottom of the brake caliper bore, ensure the boot seats properly into the piston groove and the groove in the brake caliper bore, and repeat these steps for the remaining piston.

FAQ for Other Repair Info

Q: What should we do to obtain the desired non-directional finish after refinishing the brake rotor?
A:
You should follow the brake lathe manufacturer's recommended speed setting for applying a non-directional finish, apply the non-directional finish using moderate pressure, and clean each friction surface of the brake rotor with denatured alcohol, or an equivalent approved brake cleaner after applying a non-directional finish.
Q: What is the procedure for burnishing pads and rotors?
A:
You should select a smooth road with little or no traffic, accelerate the vehicle to 48 km/h (30 mph), and apply the brakes to bring the vehicle to a stop. Then you need to repeat the two steps until approximately 20 stops have been completed, and allow sufficient cooling periods between stops to properly burnish the brake pads and rotors.
