Piston Disassembly Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • The piston could be damaged if blown out with great force. Blow the compressed air slowly to prevent the piston from suddenly popping out.
  1. Insert a piece of wood in the caliper as shown in the figure, and then blow compressed air through the bleeder screw hole to remove the piston from the caliper body.
