Caliper Guide Pin Bushings

CALIPER GUIDE PIN BUSHINGS





1. Fold guide pin bushing (1) in half lengthwise at solid middle section.




NOTE: To avoid damage to bushing, do not use a sharp object to install guide pin bushing.

2. Insert folded bushing (2) into caliper mounting boss using fingers.




3. Unfold bushing (1) using fingers or a wooden dowel until bushing is fully seated into caliper housing (2). Bushing flanges should be seated evenly on both sides of bushing hole.




4. Lubricate inside surfaces of bushing using Mopar(R) Dielectric Grease or an equivalent.
5. Install guide pin sleeve (2) into one end of bushing until seal area of bushing (3) is past seal groove in sleeve.
6. While holding convoluted boot on opposite end of bushing, push steel sleeve through bushing until bushing boot is fully seated into seal groove on that end of sleeve. Install other end bushing boot into groove on that end of bushing sleeve.




7. Verify both ends of bushing (2) are seated in sleeve grooves. When sleeve (3) is seated properly into bushing, sleeve/bushing can be held between fingers and easily slid back and forth without bushing unseating from sleeve groove.
