Mounting BracketsMounting Brackets
Mounting Brackets are used to hold the Caliper in place.
Other than keeping the surface clean and free of rust and road grime, there is very little to be done with this part

RotorsRotors
Rotors are metal discs supported by the suspension. The Calipers clamp on to them to slow their rotation, and then slow or stop the car

Vented RotorsVented Rotors
Vented Rotors have Fins in the spaces between their machined surfaces. These spaces allow air to pass through, which helps carry heat away.

Non Vented Rotors are used on smaller vehicles, and have no cooling fins

We will get back to these Rotors later concerning what you can do as a repair on them.

CalipersCalipers
Calipers are the housings that contain the Pistons and the Brake Pads. The Calipers are connected to the Hydraulic System, and hold the brake pads to the Rotor

Fixed CaliperFixed Caliper
Fixed Calipers are disc brakes that use a caliper that is FIXED in position and does not slide. They have pistons on both sides of the disc. There may be 2 or 4 pistons per caliper

OperationOperation
Piston applies pressure to Inboard pad. As the pad contacts the rotor, the caliper slides along the pins, pulling the outboard pad into contact.

The rebuild kit will have a new O ring, and a Dust Seal

PistonPiston
The Piston surface should be smooth and clean. This one is pitted, and needs replaced.

Adjustments?Adjustments?
•Disc Brakes will automatically self-adjust.
•As the Pads wear, the caliper piston will not retract as far
•This leaves a larger amount of brake fluid in the caliper, causing the master cylinder level to lower
![Page 23: Sample Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54babbe64a7959b6718b457e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Caliper SlidesCaliper Slides
Notice where the brake pads and calipers slide on the pin and the mount

Caliper slidesCaliper slides
Since parts need to slide, these areas should be clean of dirt and rust,

Cleaning CaliperCleaning Caliper
With the caliper off, I would use a wire brush to clean the rust off, then use a brake cleaning solvent to wash the sliding area.

Wear IndicatorsWear Indicators
Brake pads wear, and most people never check them. So, something was put on the pads to make a noise, since most people will have a noise checked out.
