INSTALLATION
1. Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or silicone-based grease between pad plate and shim, shim and shim cover, and shim cover and piston.
2. Attach the inner shim and shim cover to the inner pad, and the outer shim and outer shim cover to the outer pad.
3. Attach the pad retainer and pad to the torque member.
