Having unscrewed the plug 6 (see fig. 140), remove gasket 5, take out piston 10, spacer sleeve 3, seal 7, spring plate 8, spring and thrust washer with sealing ring 2.

Wash the parts with isopropyl alcohol or brake fluid and inspect. The surfaces of the parts should not have any visible irregularities. Replace damaged parts, as well as the seal and sealing ring.

During assembly, all parts are lubricated with brake fluid and installed in the reverse order.
