Replacement

WARNING: Make sure vehicle is properly supported and squarely positioned on hoist. to help avoid personal injury, provide additional support to the end of the vehicle opposite that from which components will be removed.

REMOVAL
1. Raise vehicle on hoist.
2. Remove wheel corresponding to caliper being removed.





3. Remove brake hose from caliper. Plug openings in caliper and brake hose to avoid fluid loss and contamination.





4. Remove lock pin and guide pin.
5. Remove caliper from caliper support, being careful not to damage pin boots.
6. Remove lock pin and guide pin boots from caliper support.
7. Inspect:
a. Lock pin and guide pin boots for deterioration. If damaged, replace.
b. Piston boot for deterioration. If damaged, overhaul the caliper.
c. Lock pin and guide pin for damage or corrosion. Replace if damaged or corroded (do not attempt to clean away corrosion).

INSTALLATION
1. Make sure caliper piston is bottomed fully in its caliper bore.
2. Make sure brake pads and pad clips are correctly installed in caliper support.

CAUTION: Remove all rust and corrosion from the caliper brackets and the spring clips when installing brake pads. If installing used brake pads, remove all rust and corrosion from the ends of the brake pads and from the notch. Make sure the brake pads move freely in the caliper brackets when the brakes are assembled.





3. Lubricate pin boots with silicone grease.
4. Install lock pin boot into caliper support.

NOTE:
^ Make sure lock pin boot passes all the way through caliper support.
^ Use lock pin as a tool to assist installation.





5. Install guide pin boot onto caliper body.
6. Install caliper body onto caliper support.

CAUTION: Be careful not to damage piston, guide pin, or lock pin boots.

NOTE: Compress pin boots by hand as caliper moves into position.

7. Lubricate straight section (not threads) of lock pin and guide pin with silicone grease.

CAUTION: Make sure guide and lock pin boots are properly aligned prior to pin installation, or boot damage may occur.

8. Install lock and guide pins.
^ Torque to 36 Nm (27 ft. lbs.)

CAUTION: Be sure that front brake hose is routed as shown with loop to the rear. Be careful not to install front brake hose with a twist. Incorrect front brake hose installation could bring hose into contact with wheel. Brake failure could result.








9. Rotate brake hose so that it loops to the rear and connect brake hose to caliper with new washers.
^ Torque to 49 Nm (36 ft. lbs.)
10. Bleed brakes. Service and Repair

CAUTION: Before installing wheels, remove rust or corrosion from wheel mounting surfaces and brake rotors/drums. Failure to do so can cause wheel lug nuts to loosen in service.

11. Position wheel onto hub.
12. Install wheel nuts and tighten in a crisscross pattern. Repeat tightening pattern to be sure torque is correct.
^ Torque to 140 Nm (103 ft. lbs.)
