Brake Caliper: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Hummer H2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
DO NOT place your fingers in front of the piston in order to catch or protect the piston while applying compressed air. This could result in serious injury.
CAUTION:
Avoid taking the following actions when you service wheel brake parts: DO NOT grind brake linings. DO NOT sand brake linings. DO NOT clean wheel brake parts with a dry brush or with compressed air. Some models or aftermarket brake parts may contain asbestos fibers which can become airborne in dust. Breathing dust with asbestos fibers may cause serious bodily harm. Use a water-dampened cloth in order to remove any dust on brake parts. Equipment is available commercially in order to perform this washing function. These wet methods prevent fibers from becoming airborne.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid may irritate eyes and skin. In case of contact, take the following actions: Eye contact; rinse thoroughly with water. Skin contact; wash with soap and water. If ingested, consult a physician immediately.
NOTE:
Avoid spilling brake fluid onto painted surfaces, electrical connections, wiring, or cables. Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces and cause corrosion to electrical components. If any brake fluid comes in contact with painted surfaces, immediately flush the area with water. If any brake fluid comes in contact with electrical connections, wiring, or cables, use a clean shop cloth to wipe away the fluid.
