DISC BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY
[GENERAL DESCRIPTION]
This caliper has a single 51.1 mm (2.012 in.) bore and is mounted to the brake caliper holder with two
mounting bolts. Hydraulic force, created by applying force to the brake pedal, is converted by the caliper
to friction. The hydraulic force acts equally against the piston and the bottom of the caliper bore to move
the piston outward and to move (slide) the caliper inward, resulting in a clamping action on the disc. This
clamping action forces the pads (linings) against the disc, creating friction to stop the car.
For details, refer to OPERATION in the next page.
NOTE:
Lubricate parts as specified. Do not use lubricated shop air on brake parts as damage to rubber compo-
nents may result If any component is removed or line disconnected, bleed the brake system. Replace
pads in axle sets only. The torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners.
