INSTALLATION

NOTE: Perform 1 through 6 on each side of the vehicle to complete pad set installation, then proceed to 7.

1. Completely retract the caliper piston back into the piston bore of the caliper. This is required to gain the necessary pad-to-rotor clearance for the caliper installation onto the steering knuckle.





NOTE: Place the brake pad with the audible wear indicator attached on the inboard side. The audible wear indicator should be positioned at the bottom when installed.

2. Slide the outboard brake pad (2) onto the caliper (1). Be sure the retaining clip is squarely seated in the depressed areas on the caliper beyond the raised retaining bead.
3. Place the inboard brake pad (5) in the abutment shims (4) clipped into the disc brake caliper adapter bracket (3) as shown (see preceding note).

CAUTION: Use care when installing the caliper onto the adapter bracket to avoid damaging the guide pin boot.





4. Rotate the disc brake caliper downward over the brake rotor and lower part of caliper adapter.
5. Install the disc brake caliper (2) lower guide pin bolt (1). Tighten the guide pin bolt to 43 Nm (32 ft. lbs.).






NOTE: Once the caliper is installed, inspect the outboard brake pad to make sure it is correctly positioned. The retaining clip (2) must be squarely seated in the depressed areas (1) on the caliper fingers. Also, the nubs on the pad's steel backing plate must be fully seated in the depressions formed into the inside of the caliper fingers. There should be no gap between the pad backing plate and the caliper fingers.






6. Install tire and wheel assembly (1) Tires and Wheels - Installation. Install and tighten the wheel mounting nuts (3) to 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.).
7. Lower the vehicle.
8. Pump the brake pedal several times to ensure the vehicle has a firm brake pedal before moving the vehicle.
9. Road test the vehicle and make several stops to wear off any foreign material on the brakes and to seat the brake pads.
