Important: Take care in handling the motor pack. If dropped or damaged during handling, the motor pack must be replaced.

7. Remove the motor pack (1) from the hydraulic brake modulator (2).

Installation Procedure





1. With the ABS brake modulator positioned upside down, and the gears facing you, rotate each ABS brake modulator gear clockwise until movement stops.
The procedure causes the following conditions:
- The pistons are positioned very close to the top of the modulator bore.
- The brake bleeding procedure is simplified.

5. Install the screws (5) that retain the gear cover (4).
- Tighten the screws to 4 Nm (36 inch lbs.).





6. Install the ABS brake solenoids (2) to the hydraulic brake modulator/motor pack assembly.
- Lubricate the solenoid seals (3) with clean brake fluid.
- Verify that the solenoid seal (3) is properly positioned to each solenoid.
- Position solenoids so that their electrical connectors will face the same direction prior to removal.
- By hand, press down firmly on the solenoids until their flanges seat onto the hydraulic modulator.
7. Install the four Torx head bolts (1) that retain the brake solenoids.
- Tighten the Torx head screws to 5 Nm (44 inch lbs.).
8. Install the brake modulator assembly. Refer to Brake Modulator Assembly Replacement.
