Remove Hydraulic Brake Caliper
IMPORTANT
Argo Avengers have been manufactured with two brands of brake calipers during
specic build periods. Earlier vehicles (Avengers manufactured prior to serial no.
21245), utilized a Gremica brand caliper (typically black in colour). Current models
use Knott brand calipers (typically silver in colour). The following procedure illus-
trates a Gremica rebuild. Keep in mind, the following steps can be used for the Knott
caliper rebuild as well. Order the correct O-Ring kit according to the brand caliper
used on the vehicle being serviced.
1. Perform the servicing procedure Removing the Firewall (Quick Release) in section
VB.
2. Raise the vehicle off the ground.
3. Disconnect the brake line at the caliper. Be aware of the brake uid present in the sys-
tem. Use a rag or small container to collect any initial uid that may drain from the
master cylinder until you can raise and secure the brake line high enough to stop the
ow of uid.
4. Line up the hole provided in the brake disc, with the socket head mounting bolts that
secure the hydraulic brake caliper to the transmission housing. To do this you will need
to rotate the tires by hand until they are lined up. Remove the 2 fasteners and at wash-
ers (later models use lockwashers). Slide the caliper from the disc. Photos 6 & 7

NEVER attempt to align these with the engine running and in gear.
