INSTALLATION

NOTE: Perform steps 1 through 7 on each side of the vehicle.

1. Completely retract caliper piston(s) back into bore(s) of caliper. To do so:
a. Remove fluid reservoir cap.
b. Use hand pressure or a C-clamp may be used to retract piston, first placing a wood block over piston(s) before installing C-clamp to avoid damaging piston(s).
c. Install fluid reservoir cap.




2. If removed, attach anti-rattle clips (3) to upper and lower abutments of adapter (4).
3. If equipped, remove the film from the brake pad double sticky isolator.
4. Install NEW inboard (2) and outboard (5) brake pads on caliper adapter (4). NEW Inboard and outboard pads are interchangeable.
5. Push caliper guide pins into caliper adapter to clear caliper mounting bosses when installing.
6. Rotate caliper downward, aligning upper mounting boss with lower guide pin.





7. Install Upper caliper guide pin bolt (1). While holding guide pin (3) stationary tighten bolt to 60 Nm (44 ft. lbs.).





8. Install tire and wheel assembly (1) . Tires And Wheels - Installation
9. Lower vehicle.
10. Pump brake pedal several times to set pads to caliper and brake rotor.





11. Check and adjust brake fluid level in reservoir (1).

CAUTION: When NEW brake pads have been installed, keep in mind that braking effectiveness might be somewhat reduced during the first brake applications following installation.

CAUTION: A burnish procedure must be performed anytime NEW brake pads or rotors are installed on a vehicle equipped with the Police Package. This procedure is particularly important in situations where high speed pursuit is a possibility. It is recommended that the procedure be performed by the Police agency operating the vehicle so it can be performed in a safe controlled environment. This information is covered in the Police Package Owners Manual Supplement which was supplied when the vehicle was originally delivered.

12. Road test vehicle making several stops to wear off any foreign material on brakes and to seat brake shoes. If the vehicle is equipped with the Police Package, a burnish procedure must be followed (Refer to preceding Caution).
