• Note the difference in pedal travel when the pedal is depressed quickly and slowly. Replace the master cylinder if there is a difference in brake pedal travel.
Brake Hoses (C) Look for damage or signs of fluid loss. Replace the brake pad with a new one if it is damaged or leaking.
Brake Piston Seal and
Caliper Dust Boot (D)		 Check the brake operation by depressing the brake pedal.
Look for damage or signs of fluid loss. If the pedal does not operate properly, the brakes drag, or there are signs of fluid leakage, disassemble and inspect the caliper. Replace the dust boots and seals with new ones whenever the caliper is disassembled.
