Technician A says that contaminants tend to collect in the caliper bore of a hydraulic disc brake system so the piston should never be forced back into its bore without cracking the bleed screw.Technician B says that ABS hydraulic brake systems are more vulnerable to problems caused by contaminants in brake fluid.Who is correct?

A) Technician A only
B) Technician B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Caliper Bore

The cylindrical opening in a brake caliper where the piston moves, playing a critical role in the braking system of a vehicle.

Contaminants

Unwanted substances or impurities found within a product, sample, or environment that can affect performance or health.

Bleed Screw

A small valve or screw located on hydraulic systems, such as brakes, used to remove air from the system.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Technician A is correct because forcing the piston back without opening the bleed screw can push contaminants back into the hydraulic system, potentially causing blockages or damage. Technician B is correct because ABS systems have more precise tolerances and are more sensitive to contamination, which can lead to malfunctions or reduced effectiveness.
