1.
Clean all parts except brake linings in dry cleaning solvent and dry thoroughly.
2.
New piston sealing O-Rings should be installed each time the brakes are disassembled. If re-use
is necessary, they should be wiped with a clean cloth saturated in automotive brake fluid and
inspected for damage.
NOTE: Thorough cleaning is important. Dirt and chips are the greatest single cause of
malfunctions and leaks in hydraulic brake systems.
3.
Check brake linings for deterioration or excessive wear.
