Checking the brake caliper (Chevrolet Tahoe 2)

1. Inspect the brake caliper body. Look for cracks, signs of excessive wear and/or damage. If any of these conditions are present, replace the caliper.



2. Check the condition of the caliper piston dust boots. If there are cracks, tears, cuts, keratinization and/or incorrect installation in the caliper, replace or repair the caliper.

3. Inspect the caliper for signs of brake fluid leakage around the piston boots and pads. If there are any brake fluid leaks, replace or repair the caliper.

4. Check the smoothness and movement of the caliper pistons in the caliper holes.

The pistons should move smoothly, without sticking. If the piston is stuck or moves with effort, replace or repair the caliper.
