Rotate the piston (A) clockwise into the cylinder, then align the cutout (B) in the piston with the tab (C) on the inner pad by turning the piston back. Lubricate the boot with rubber grease to avoid twisting the piston boot. If the piston boot is twisted, back it out so it is positioned properly. Install the caliper. Install the flange bolts (D), and tighten it to the specified torque while holding the pin (E) with a wrench being careful not to damage the pin boot. Press the brake pedal several times to make sure the brakes work, then test-drive the vehicle. NOTE: Engagement of the brake may require a greater pedal stroke immediately after the brake pads have been replaced as a set. Several applications of the brake pedal will restore the normal pedal stroke. After installation, check for leaks at hose and line joints or connections, and retighten if necessary. Install the rear wheels. |
