Support — removal and installation (Honda CR-V 1)

Brake caliper (CR-V): 1. Inner lining B; 2. Inner lining A; 3. Wear indicator; 4, 13. Bolts; 5. Bracket; 6. Staples; 7, 19. Cover; 8. Piston; 9. Piston seal; 10. Support; 11. Spring; 12. Pads; 14. Bleeding nipple; 15. Hose; 16. Gaskets; 17. Bolt; 18. Finger

1. Drain some of the liquid from the tank.

2. Raise the car and remove the wheel.

3. Loosen the bolts and remove the caliper from the disc.

4. Remove the brake shoe linings and shoes.

5. If the caliper is removed for replacement or repair, disconnect the brake hose and plug it.

6. Remove the caliper with the bracket. If the caliper is removed to access other parts or to replace the pads, tie the caliper with wire, preventing the caliper from sagging on the hose.

7. Remove the caliper from the bracket by unscrewing the bolts.

8. Install the caliper in reverse order. First, press the pistons into the caliper cylinders. When installing the caliper, make sure that the caliper pin bolts and rubber parts do not touch the lugs on the steering knuckle. When finished, press the brake pedal 3-4 times so that the pedal travel does not exceed 50 mm.

Disassembly

Some vehicles are equipped with 2-cylinder calipers, the disassembly procedure for which is no different from that discussed below for a 1-cylinder caliper.

1. Remove the caliper.

2. Remove the piston either with compressed air or by unscrewing it from the caliper cylinder (photo).

3. Inspect the piston. If there is damage, corrosion or wear, replace the piston.

4. Remove the anti-noise springs (if provided).

5. Remove the seals from the grooves in the caliper and remove the covers.

6. Unscrew the bleed nipple.

7. Check the condition of the cylinder surface and the caliper threads for wear and damage. Traces of light corrosion of the piston and cylinder are removed by sanding with a soft cloth and polishing paste. Replace damaged seals and covers.

8. Wash all parts with rectified alcohol and dry with compressed air.
