Disc Brake Caliper Guide Pin
DISASSEMBLY - CALIPER GUIDE PINBUSHINGS
NOTE: Before disassembling brake caliper, clean and inspect it.
1) With one hand, push guide pin bushing sleeve towards rear of caliper, and at same time, pull sleeve out rear of caliper and bushing (Fig. 27).
2) Using fingers, collapse one side of rubber guide pin bushing. Pull guide pin bushing out other side of brake caliper mounting boss (Fig. 28).
ASSEMBLY - CALIPER GUIDE PIN BUSHINGS
1) Fold guide pin bushing in half lengthwise at solid middle section (Fig. 32).
NOTE: To avoid damage to bushing, do not use a sharp object to install guide pin bushing.
2) Insert folded bushing into caliper mounting boss using fingers (Fig. 33).
3) Unfold bushing using fingers or a wooden dowel until bushing is fully seated into caliper housing. Bushing flanges should be seated evenly on both sides of bushing hole (Fig. 34).
4) Lubricate inside surfaces of bushing using Mopar Dielectric Grease or an equivalent.
5) Install guide pin sleeve into one end of bushing until seal area of bushing is past seal groove in sleeve (Fig. 35).
6) While holding convoluted boot on opposite end of bushing, push steel sleeve through bushing until bushing boot is fully seated into seal groove on that end of sleeve (Fig. 35). Install other end bushing boot into groove on that end of bushing sleeve.
7) Verify both ends of bushing are seated in sleeve groves (Fig. 36). When sleeve is seated properly into bushing, sleeve/bushing can be held between fingers and easily slid back and forth without bushing unseating from sleeve groove.
