REPAIR REAR BRAKE CALIPERS
Service repair no - 70.55.06
Service repair no - 70.55.17
Service tool:
LRT-50-700 - Piston clamp
Before starting repair refer to general brake service
practice.
See General Brake Service Practice
Remove caliper
1.Loosen rear road wheel nuts. Jack up vehicle,
lower onto axle stands, remove wheels.
2.Using a recognised hose clamp, clamp flexible
brake hose above rear axle.
3.Remove brake pipe(s) from rear brake caliper(s).
4.Seal pipe ends to prevent ingress of dirt.
5.Remove retaining pins and springs and withdraw
pads. If same pads are to be refitted, identify
them for assembly in original positions.
6.Remove two bolts, withdraw caliper from axle.
Repair
Do not separate caliper halves
7.Clean outer surfaces of caliper with aerosol
brake cleaner.
8. WITH CAUTIONexpel pistons from their bores
by applying air pressure to fluid inlet port. It is
unlikely both pistons will expel at same time,
regulate rate with a suitable piece of wood
inserted between two pistons.
9.Finally, remove pistons keeping them identified
with their respective bores.
10.Remove wiper seal retainer by inserting a blunt
screwdriver between retainer and seal and pry
retainer carefully from mouth of bore.
11.Taking care not to damage seal grooves, extract
wiper seal and fluid seal.
12.Clean bores, pistons and particularly seal
grooves using clean brake fluid only. If caliper or
pistons are corroded or their condition is not
perfect new parts must be fitted.

REPAIR 13.Apply brake fluid to new seal. Fit seal into
groove in bore. When seal is seated it feels
raised to touch at edge furthest away from
mouth of bore.
14.Coat piston with brake fluid. Insert it squarely
into bore. Do not tilt piston during insertion and
leave 8mm projecting from bore.
15.Coat a new wiper seal with brake fluid and fit to
new seal retainer. Slide assembly, seal first, over
protruding piston into bore recess.
16.Using special tool LRT-70-500 - piston clamp,
press home seal retainer and piston.
Mounting inboard piston
17.Carry out same procedure as for removing and
fitting outboard piston and seals, instructions 8 to
16.
Fit calipers and pads to vehicle
18.Fit caliper to axle, tighten two bolts evenly to
82
Nm.
19.Connect brake pipe to caliper. Tighten to15Nm.
20.Remove clamp from flexible brake hose.
21.Insert pads and retaining springs, secure in
position with new retaining pins and spread
ends. Note correct position of retaining springs.
22.Bleed brake system.See Brake System Bleed
23.Press brake pedal firmly several times to locate
pads.
24.Fit road wheels, remove axle stands and finally
tighten road wheel nuts,
25.Road test vehicle. Note new brake pads require
'bedding-in', for several hundred miles before
brakes are at maximum efficiency.

Sensor will be 'knocked back' to correct position
when vehicle is driven.
10.Secure sensor lead in original position.
11.Reconnect sensor electrical connection.
12.Drive vehicle to ensure ABS warning light is
extinguished.
SENSOR RINGS
The rear sensor ring is assembled to the rear brake
disc to form part of the rear hub assembly.
See
REAR AXLE AND FINAL DRIVE, Repair, Rear Hub
Assembly
The front sensor ring is a toothed ring on the axle
shaft which forms part of the front stub axle assembly.
