WHEEL CYLINDER DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY

1. Remove the wheel cylinder. (See WHEEL CYLINDER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

2. Disassemble the wheel cylinder.

Caution

• Do no use denatured alcohol for flushing the brake system or cleaning components where alcohol could be trapped. If denatured alcohol is trapped, it can cause eventual failure of rubber components in the system.

• Never allow any petroleum product or mineral oil to contact the inside of a brake system. Mineral oil and petroleum products deteriorate the natural rubber seals used in brake systems. If a brake system becomes contaminated, it must be flushed with clean brake fluid and all rubber seals and hoses replaced. Use specified brake fluid.
