RedRubberGrease.com Insert the seal into the grove of the caliper bore. Push the piston inside the caliper bore. We recommend to do this with your hands. Using a C-clamp or some other device to force the piston into the caliper may jam the piston and damage it or, alternatively, damage the walls of the caliper or piston seal or dust boot.Using rubber grease will make inserting the piston into the caliper very easy with your hands.Just push it down gently and make sure it is square in the bore. Once, the piston is half way in, place the dust boot around the piston and inset the dust boot lip into the grove in the piston.sing rubber grease will make inserting the piston into the caliper very easy with your hands.

Brake Caliper Replacement Service Most cars come with disc brakes in the front, and many models also have disc brakes in the rear. A caliper is part of the disc brake system. When you press the brake pedal, the brake fluid flows from the master cylinder to the calipers.Brake fluid then applies pressure on the piston inside the caliper, pushing the brake pads against the rotors to slow/stop your car. A car can have either 2 or 4 calipers.If the car has rotors on all four tires, then it will have four calipers. If the car has two rotors and two drums, then it will come with two calipers in front. The calipers can become contaminated, rusty, and start to leak brake fluid. car can have either 2 or 4 calipers. If the car has rotors on all four tires, then it will have four calipers.

- Normally, you do not need to purchase a proportioning valve with a Wilwood four-wheel disc brake kit. Because Wilwood manufactures calipers with the correct piston area for each application, our kits will work with your dual-chamber stock master cylinder and stock pressure limiting valve.There is no need to modify or remove the existing pressure-limiting valve, and no additional proportioning valve is needed.ith a 1” master cylinder stroke, a 100-pound push on the pedal, and the pedal having a 4:1 ratio, the force is 4 x 100 = 400 pounds, and the stroke is 4 x 1 = 4 inches. With a 100 pound push on the pedal, with the pedal having a 6:1 ratio, the force is 6 x 100 = 600 pounds, and the stroke is 6 x 1 = 6 inches.

- The pad may be binding on a corroded caliper bracket. If this is the case, you may be able to clean the corrosion with emory cloth and brake cleaner. (Remember to keep brake cleaner away from rubber parts.) After the sliding surfaces have been cleaned, apply a dab of brake lubricant. Outer pad wear. Outer pads will wear prematurely if the caliper bracket or (more likely) the caliper pins are corroded or if they're lubricated with the wrong lubricant.
