INSTALLATION

1. Completely retract caliper piston back into bore of caliper. Use hand pressure or a C-clamp may be used to retract piston, first placing a wood block over piston before installing C-clamp to avoid damaging piston.




2. Position inboard pad retainer clip (1) against piston (2) cavity. Firmly press against pad lining by hand until retainer clip seats itself in piston cavity groove. Be sure inboard brake pad backing plate is flush against caliper piston.




CAUTION: Outboard brake pads are side oriented. Make sure spring clip on each pad is installed so it is positioned downward once caliper is installed.

3. Position outboard brake pad locating pins (1) against ramps built into caliper fingers. Slide pad onto caliper. Be sure locating pins on pad are squarely seated into holes (2) in caliper and pad is flat against caliper fingers.
4. Make sure abutment shims are in place on both upper and lower slide abutments of caliper adapter.




CAUTION: Use care when installing caliper assembly onto adapter so guide pin bushings and sleeves do not get damaged by mounting bosses on adapter.

5. Retract caliper guide pins to clear mounting bosses on caliper adapter when installing caliper.
6. Install brake caliper (4) in opposite way it was removed. Starting with upper end, carefully position caliper and brake pads over brake rotor and align outboard pad's upper edge with caliper slide abutment. Rotate lower end of caliper into mounting position on adapter (3).

CAUTION: Extreme caution should be taken not to cross-thread caliper guide pin bolts when they are installed.

7. Carefully install caliper guide pin bolts (2). Tighten bolts to 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs.).




8. Install tire and wheel assembly (1) Tires and Wheels - Installation. Install and tighten wheel mounting nuts (3) to 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.).
9. Lower vehicle.




10. Remove brake pedal holding tool.
11. Connect battery negative (-) cable to battery post.
12. Bleed base brake hydraulic system as necessary. Brake Bleeding
13. Road test vehicle making several stops to wear off any foreign material on brakes and to seat brake shoes.
