Front Brake Pad Inspection and Replacement

  1. Mount the brake caliper commercially available piston compressor (A) on the caliper body (B).
  1. Press in the piston with the brake caliper piston compressor so the caliper will fit over the brake pads. Make sure the piston boot is in position to prevent damaging it when pivoting the caliper down.
    NOTE: Be careful when pressing in the piston; brake fluid might overflow from the master cylinder's reservoir.
  1. Remove the brake caliper piston compressor.
  1. Clean the caliper thoroughly; remove any rust, and check for grooves and cracks.
