3. Remove brake pads, pad clips and outer shim, Fig. 1.

Fig. 2 Hub And Brake Drag Torque Measurement:

4. Measure rotating torque of hub with brake pads removed using a suitable spring scale, Fig. 2.
5. Clean piston surface and push into caliper using suitable tool. Ensure piston boot does not become wedged.
6. Install pad clips and pads onto caliper.
7. Lower caliper assembly and install lower guide pin.
8. Check brake drag as follows:
a. Start engine and hold brake pedal down for five seconds.
b. Stop engine and turn brake rotor forward ten turns.
c. Check brake drag using suitable tool.
d. If the difference between brake drag torque and hub torque exceeds 3 ft. lbs., disassemble caliper assembly, clean and check for corrosion, worn or damaged parts.
