-7. REMOVAL OF PISTON CUP
Using a screwdriver, remove the piston cup from the piston.
INSPECTION-
Check the following points. and if there is any abnormality, replacethe entire wheel cylinder assembly.
(1) Check piston and wheel cylinder walls for rust or damage.(2) Check clearance between the cylinder and the piston.
Measure in two perpendicular directions to figure the clear-
ance between the wheel cylinder inner diameter
fmax.value)and the piston outer diameter (minvalue).
Limit : 0.15 mm (4059 in.)
NOTE
If the difference is more than the limit, replace the piston and
wheel cylinder as an assembly.This number corresponds to
the number in “Removal
steps”,“Disassembly
steps”,“Installation steps”
or “Reassembly steps”.

_ CAUTION
When servicing brake assemblies or components, do not create dust by sanding, grinding or by cleaning
brake parts with a dry brush or with compressed air. A WATER DAMPENED CLOTH SHOULD BE USED.
Many brake components contain asbestos fibers which can become air-borne if dust is created duringservice operations. Breathing dust which contains asbestos fibers can cause serious bodily harm.
