When to Replace / Symptoms of Wear

Rear caliper refurbishment is necessary if you notice:

• Handbrake issues (ineffectiveness or the wheel remaining locked).
• The wheel rim becoming hot after driving (piston not retracting properly).
• Brake fluid leaks around the piston or the handbrake actuator mechanism.
• Cracked rubber boots, leading to corrosion on the piston and caliper bore.

Installation & Service Tips

Before installing new components, thoroughly clean the inside of the caliper, paying close attention to the seal groove. In Honda rear calipers, the piston is threaded/screwed in (due to the handbrake mechanism); therefore, a specialized brake piston wind-back tool is recommended for installation. After replacement, it is essential to bleed the brake system and adjust the parking brake.
