2. Discard the original upper and lower slide pin bolts used to mount the caliper to the knuckle.
3. Remove the brake shoe assemblies from the caliper assembly.
Slide Pin Bushing And Boots:
4. Remove the upper and lower slide pin bushings and boots from the caliper. The bushings are a slip fit and should come out with finger pressure. However, if the bushings are tight, tap them loose with a mallet.
5. Clean the bushing bores with brake cleaner and a wire brush.
Slide Pin Bushing Components:
6. Lubricate the new slide pin bushings and boots with silicone lubricant.
7. Assemble and install the slide pin bushings and boots into the bushing bores of the caliper.
8. If new brake shoes are being installed, seat (bottom) the caliper piston.
9. Install the brake shoes in the rear brake caliper.
10. Install the disc brake caliper on the rear knuckle.
11. Bleed both rear disc brake calipers. See Brake Bleeding for the bleeding procedure.
12. Install the wheel and tire assemblies. Note the location tire and wheel were removed from on vehicle. They must be replaced in the same location due to the tires being unidirectional. Tighten the wheel mounting stud nuts in proper sequence until all nuts are torqued to half specification. Then repeat the tightening sequence to the full specified torque of 122 Nm (90 ft. lbs.).
13. Lower the vehicle to the ground. Before moving vehicle, pump the brake pedal several times to insure the vehicle has a firm brake pedal to adequately stop vehicle.
14. Apply the brakes several times to seat the brake shoes and equalize parking brake adjustment.
15. Road test the vehicle making several stops to wear off any foreign material on the brakes and to seat the brakes. See Brake Burnishing in Service and Repair for the correct procedure if NEW brake shoe assemblies were installed.
