Installation

GENERAL INFORMATION
During service procedures, grease or any other foreign material must be kept off brake shoe assemblies, and braking surfaces of rotor. Handle the rotor and caliper carefully, to avoid damaging the rotor and/or scratching or nicking of brake shoe lining. If inspection reveals that the caliper piston seal is leaking, it MUST be replaced immediately. During removal and installation of a wheel and tire assembly, use care not to strike the caliper.

PROCEDURE

CAUTION: Use care when installing the caliper assembly on the steering knuckle, so seals on caliper guide pin bushings do not get damaged by the steering knuckle bosses.

1. Completely retract the caliper piston back into the piston bore of the caliper, if new brake shoes have been installed.

Removing Or Installing Braking Disc:

2. If removed, install rotor on hub.

Removing Caliper Assembly:

3. Carefully position caliper and brake shoe assemblies over rotor using the reversed required removal procedure.

CAUTION: When being installed, extreme caution should be taken not to crossthread the caliper guide pin bolts.

4. Install the caliper guide pin bolts. Tighten guide pin bolts to a torque of 22 Nm (192 in. lbs.).
5. Install the wheel and tire assembly.
6. Tighten the wheel mounting stud nuts in proper sequence until all nuts are torqued to half specification. Then repeat the tightening sequence to the full specified torque of 110 - 135 Nm (85 - 115 ft. lbs.).
7. Remove jackstands or lower hoist. Before moving vehicle, pump the brake pedal several times to insure the vehicle has a firm brake pedal to adequately stop vehicle.

WARNING: Before moving vehicle after performing any service to the vehicle brake system, be sure to obtain a firm brake pedal.

8. Road test the vehicle and make several stops to wear off any foreign material on the brakes and to seat the brake shoe linings.
