Done with simple hand tools that anyone has

step 1 remove caliper from
spindle and the lines from caliper




prepare to catch brake fluid and dont lose the crush washers





disassemble the pads from the caliper using a hammer and punch of small screw driver. once pins are removed clip comes out and pads slide out




caliper removed and clear of pads looks like this. prepare to take dust boots out


i used a small SOFT metal screw driver to fit between dust boots and caliper. soft metal screw driver so you don't score or gouge the caliper



to take pistons out I used the same screwdriver and some channel locks. be gentle and take your time. when using channel locks it might take some twisting




the oil seal is the same...small soft screw driver and patience


I did mine on card board so the extra fluid in caliper didnt stain my work area and made for easy clean up


this is the bag of goodies supplied by racing brake. includes lube, pistons, dust boots, and oil ring seals. all packaged very nicely.



the pistons are different sizes and have matching seals and boots for each size


push in new oil seals with finger, once in the groove they fit nicely...again use the right size!


slip dust boots onto the new pistons...remember big on big small on small!



generously lube the new pistons with supplied lube to make reassembly much much easier



gently slide new pistons in the correct hole in the caliper



make sure new dust boot seats properly
before inserting piston all the way in


i was a little afraid of damaging my caliper by applying uneven pressure when inserting new pistons so i used a small hand clamp



gentle pressure and they literally pop in. using liberal amounts of lube makes it easier and using your fingers to insert piston is fine as long as you use consistent pressure on all sides of piston.


reassemble caliper to spindle and put pads back in. dont forget to bleed the brakes and or do a complete flush with dot 4 fluid while you are at it
