REPAIR
I - REPAIR PREPARATION OPERATION
aPosition the vehicle on a two-post lift (see Vehicle:
Towing and lifting) (02A, Lifting equipment).
aPosition the pedal press on the brake pedal to limit
the outflow of brake fluid.
aRemove:
-the front wheel (see 35A, Wheels and tyres,
Wheel: Removal - Refitting, page 35A-1) ,
-the front brake calliper (see 31A, Front axle com-
ponents, Front brake calliper: Removal - Refit-
ting, page 31A-8) .II - REPAIR OPERATION FOR PART CONCERNED
aRemove the piston using compressed air, making
sure to insert a wooden block between the calliper
and the piston to avoid damaging it. Any trace of im-
pact on the end panel will render the piston unfit for
use.
aRemove the dust seal.
aRemove the rectangular section seal from the calli-
per groove with a round edged spring blade (feeler
gauge).
aClean the parts using methylated spirit. Special tooling required
Fre. 1190-01Brake calliper piston return
tool.
Equipment required

IMPORTANT
Consult the safety and cleanliness advice and oper-
ation recommendations before carrying out any
repair (see Front axle components: Precautions
for the repair) .
WARNING
Prepare for the flow of fluid, and protect the sur-
rounding components.
