DISC BRAKE CALIPER - FRONT (Continued)
CAUTION: Use care when installing the brake cali-
per assembly onto the adapter, so that the seals on
the caliper guide pin bushings do not get damaged
by the adapter bosses.
(3) Carefully position the brake caliper (with inboard
shoe) over the brake rotor, outboard shoe and adapter.
For proper positioning of shoes when installing caliper,
(Refer to 5 - BRAKES/HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/
BRAKE PADS/SHOES - INSTALLATION).
(4) Install the caliper guide pin bolts and tighten
to a torque of 35 N·m (26 ft. lbs.) (Fig. 25). Extreme
caution should be taken not to cross thread the
caliper guide pin bolts.
(5) Install the caps over the ends of the guide pin
bolts (Fig. 24).
(6) Install the anti-rattle spring on the outboard
side of the caliper (Fig. 23). Start the clip into the
holes on the caliper, then stretch the clip legs past
the abutments on the caliper adapter.
CAUTION: When connecting the brake hose to the
caliper, install new brake hose to caliper special
washers.
(7) Install the brake hose on the caliper. To do
this, first place one NEW special fitting washer on
each side of the hose fitting, then slide the banjo bolt
through the fitting. Next, thread the banjo bolt into
the threaded port on the rear of the brake caliper
(Fig. 24). Tighten the banjo bolt to a torque of 35
N·m (26 ft. lbs.).
(8) Install the wheel and tire assembly. 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 135 N·m (100 ft. lbs.).
(9) Lower the vehicle.
(10) Remove the brake pedal depressor (holding)
tool.
(11) Bleed the hydraulic brake circuit to the brake
caliper. (Refer to 5 - BRAKES - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE)
(12) Road test the vehicle and make several stops
to wear off any foreign material on the brakes and to
seat the brake shoe linings.

DISC BRAKE CALIPER - REAR

REMOVAL - REAR DISC BRAKE CALIPER

(1) Depress the brake pedal past its first inch of
travel and hold it in this position using a brake pedal
depressor (holding) tool. This is done to isolate the
master cylinder from the brake hydraulic system dis-
allowing the brake fluid to completely drain out of
the brake fluid reservoir.
(2) Raise vehicle. (Refer to LUBRICATION &
MAINTENANCE/HOISTING - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE)
(3) Remove rear wheel and tire from vehicle.
(4) Remove the banjo bolt connecting the brake
hose to the brake caliper. There are two washers (one
on each side of the brake hose fitting) that will come
off with the banjo bolt. Discard these washers.
(5) Remove the 2 guide pin bolts mounting the cal-
iper to the adapter (Fig. 32).
