Hey all,
Getting ready to put my A type calipers back together. Got a couple of questions. 1) Is this the correct orientation of the dust seal (see seal on right)? 2) Is the retaining ring in the right place and does it matter where the two ends are (blue arrow) and should there be a small (1/8") gap? 3) What is the suggested orientation of the notch in the piston (green circle)?  |

1. Yes
2. Doesn't Matter and yes. 3. Not there... Hard to explain. Look for pics in the rebuild kit. The notch should face into the oncoming rotor as it slices through the groove. Actual measurement should be 20 degrees off the opposing wall (where your blue arrow emanates from or, the other side). They are directional for left and right... got to get it right or you'll get plenty-o-squeal. Let me go take a picture for you. |
