Disc Caliper - Front: Disassembly

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1991 Oldsmobile Toronado, 1991 Cadillac Seville, 1991 Cadillac Eldorado, 1991 Buick Riviera, and 1991 Buick Reatta. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Clean exterior of caliper with denatured alcohol and place on a clean work surface. Remove brake shoe and discard copper gasket. Drain fluid from caliper.
    WARNING: DO NOT attempt to catch or protect piston with fingers while applying compressed air. Injury may result. Always use eye protection when performing this step.
  2. Using clean shop towels to pad interior of caliper, apply just enough clean compressed air to caliper inlet so piston will ease out of bore.
  3. Using a screwdriver, pry boot out of caliper. Pry piston and seal from caliper using a piece of wood or plastic. DO NOT use a metal tool as bore may be damaged requiring caliper replacement. Remove bleeder valve from caliper.
