Installation

Caliper Assembly:

1. Lubricate new sleeves, rubber bushings, bushing grooves and mounting bolt ends with Delco Silicone Lube or equivalent.
2. Install new bushings and sleeves on caliper ears. Position the sleeve so that the end toward the pad is flush with the machined surface of the ear.
3. Install pad retaining spring on inner pad.
4. Position inner pad in caliper so spring ends centrally contact pad edge. Initially, this will place the pad on an angle. Push upper edge of pad down until pad is flat against caliper. When properly seated, spring ends will not extend past pad more than 2.4 mm (0.1 inch).
5. Position outer pad in caliper with pad ears over caliper ears and tab at bottom of pad engaged in caliper cutout.
6. Install caliper. See Brake Caliper / Service and Repair. Service and Repair

CAUTION: Make sure that the brake hose is not twisted or kinked since damage to the hose could result.

Compressing The Pad Ears:

7. Compress the pad ears to the caliper.

Caliper Knuckle Clearances:

8. Measure the clearance between the caliper and the steering knuckle. The clearance at each end of the caliper should be measured individually and added together. this total should be between 0.26-0.60 mm (0.010-0.024 inch).
9. Install tire and wheel assembly.
10. Lower the vehicle.

WARNING: Before moving vehicle, pump brake pedal several times to be sure it is firm. Do not move vehicle until a firm pedal is obtained.
