Installation

For additional information see Installation Notes. Fundamentals and Basics

Retracting Piston:

1. Retract piston in caliper bore and position caliper over disc, lining up holes in caliper with holes in mounting bracket. If brake hose was not disconnected during removal, be sure not to kink it during installation.

Caliper Mounting Bolts:

2. Start mounting bolts through sleeves in inboard caliper ears and the mounting bracket, making sure ends of bolts pass under ears on inboard pad.

NOTICE: If the caliper was removed for service, make sure it is installed on the correct knuckle. The caliper bleed screw should be positioned on top of caliper when assembled on vehicle.

3. Push mounting bolts through to engage holes in the outboard ears. Then thread mounting bolts into bracket.
4. Torque mounting bolts to 50 Nm (37 ft lb).

Caliper Knuckle Clearances:

5. 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).
6. If brake hose was removed, reconnect it and bleed the brakes.
7. Install wheels and tires, lower vehicle and add brake fluid to master cylinder to bring level to 1/4 inch from top.

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.
