TAPPET AND BOOT ASSEMBLIES (13) AND INNER SEALS (22) REPLACEMENT
Make sure to keep tool (
A
) perpendicular to the
threaded tube
Do not remove the tappet by levering with tool (

)
at an angle, this will damage the internal mecha-
nism.
7.1 Removal of Tappet and Boot Assemblies (13)
Note:
The removal of the tappet and boot assemblies (13) can
be done with the brake caliper fitted to, or removed from, the
vehicle (see Section 8)
With caliper installed on the vehicle:
7.1.1 Wind-out the adjuster (23) using the shear adapter
(61) until the boots are easily accessible (
max. 30 mm
) and
with a suitable lever carefully prise the boot away from the
caliper (see Fig.).
Take extra care not to damage the sealing surface on the
caliper for the inner boot (arrow
X
) as this cannot be replaced
(see Fig.).
7.1.2 Using tool (
A
), correctly positioned between the caliper
and the boot, carefully drive it down with the aid of a hammer
to release each tappet and boot assembly (13) from its threaded
tube (16). Take care to stay perpendicular and not damage the
threaded tube (see Figs. ‘a’ and ‘b’).
7.1.2b - Drive down wedge fork using hammer
7.1.1 - Wind-out the adjuster, prise out the inner boot.
