BRAKES 12-15
Calipers
Caliper Piston and Cylinder Damage Inspection
• Visually inspect the pistons [A] and cylinder surfaces [B].
  Replace the caliper if the cylinder and piston are badly
    scores or rusty.

Rear Caliper Holder Wear Inspection
  The caliper body must slide smoothly on the rear caliper
pin bolt [A] and sleeve [B]. If the body does not slide
smoothly, one pad will wear more than the other, pad wear
will increase, and constant drag on the disc will raise brake
and brake fluid temperature.
• Check to see that the rear caliper pin bolt and the sleeve
  are not badly worn or stepped, and that the rubber boots
  are not damaged.
  If the rear caliper pin bolt is damaged, replace the rear
  caliper pin bolt.
  If the sleeve is damaged, replace the sleeve.
  If the rubber boots are damaged, replace the rubber boot.
