REAR BRAKE PAD AND CALIPER INSTALLATION

ý
WARNING
• If at any point in this procedure the hydraulic system is opened, the brakes must be bled after
the correct reinstallation of the brake components. Failure to bleed the brakes could result in
decreased braking performance due to air being trapped in the hydraulic system. Use only
DOT 5 brake fluid. See Bleeding the Hydraulic Brake System on page 5-22.
Rear Brake Caliper Installation
1. Secure the caliper body to the axle flange with two hex-head bolts. Apply Loctite # 277 to the bolt thread,
and tighten the hardware to 36 ft-lb (49 N·m).
2. Secure the brake line to the caliper with a new banjo bolt and new copper washers. Tighten the hardware
to 13 ft-lb (18 N·m). See following NOTE and CAUTION.
NOTE: Position the brake line so it is perpendicular to the caliper assembly and pointing directly toward
the base bracket on the shock absorber.
CAUT ION
• The banjo bolts are metric. Use only metric thread replacements.
3. Bleed the brake line at the bleed port on the caliper body. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Individual bleeding of the hydraulic ports at the caliper requires an assistant to press the brake
pedal.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the opposite rear wheel if necessary.
Rear Brake Pad Installation
1. Install the brake pads, and install the socket-head slide-pin bolts through the top and bottom holes of the
pads. Tighten the hardware to 32 ft-lb (43 N·m). See following NOTE.
NOTE: It may be necessary to loosen the park brake adjuster arm on the caliper.
2. Install the tire and wheel, and finger-tighten the lug nuts.
