Replacing calipers

Post by T.Hanson »

Beginning extensive suspension work on the 633.

To replace the calipers and brake lines: Remove wheels, then all brake pads. Push the brake pedal to force the pistons out of the calipers as far as possible.

Then remove calipers and brake lines.

Reassemble, use DOT 4 fluid. Start with passenger side (U.S.) rear caliper, bleed each closer caliper to reservoir until pedal is firm.

Yes, no. And it doesn't hurt anything to have the system open, disconnected for a few days while fooling around. Yes, no.

Thank you,
