• Q: How to Service and Repair Brake Calipers on 2005 Chevrolet Cavalier?

  A: Start brake caliper repair work with the caliper piston seal installer tool j 29077-a at hand. When disassembling the brake caliper take special care to keep your fingers away from the front of caliper pistons because their pressure can force them out with risks of injury if your fingers are in their path. Rest the caliper piston on clean wipes when removing it through the air pressure. Keep little air inside the bores to slide the pistons smoothly into position. Insert a low-pressure compressed air stream through the caliper bore inlet to push out the Brake Caliper Piston. Insert a wooden or plastic tool in the caliper to take off both the piston dust boot seal and piston seal. Start by taking both the valve bleeder and cap component out from the caliper . Use denatured alcohol or an equivalent product to wipe the entire area inside the Brake Caliper Piston bore and seal counterbore. Then use non-lubricated filtered air to dry the caliper piston. Verify if the caliper bore contains cracks, damage, heavy rust, or corrosion. Light rust deposits need cleansing with fine sandpaper until extensive rust exists, necessitating a new caliper part. Check the Brake Caliper Piston for defects and order a new unit when required. Install the new piston seal by coating it with delco supreme ii gm p/n 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667) brake fluid from a clean container then put the seal in the caliper bore. Apply the caliper piston before placing its new dust boot seal on top. The caliper piston seal installer j 29077-a pushes the dust boot seal completely into its counterbore position. After that, place and tightly fasten the bleeder valve and cap onto the caliper. Reinstall the front brake caliper as its final step.
