- Inspect the inside of the caliper assembly for signs of fluid
leakage. If any is found, overhaul the caliper as outlined in
Brake Caliper Overhaul
.
- Inspect the mounting bolts and sleeves for corrosion. Replace
any corroded bolts and sleeves. Do not attempt to polish away the corrosion.
- Measure the clearance between the caliper and steering knuckle.
The clearance at each end of the caliper should be measured individually and
added together. This total should be 0.26-0.60 mm (0.010-0.024 in).
If clearance is excessive, refer to
Brake Caliper and Anchor Plate Wear Adjustment
.
