(4) Rotate caliper rearward with pry tool if neces-
sary. Then rotate caliper and brake shoes off mount-
ing ledges.
(5) Remove caliper from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install brake shoes in caliper.
(2) Connect brake hose to caliper but do not
tighten fitting bolt completely at this time. Be sure
to use new gaskets on bolt to avoid leaks
(3) Install caliper. Position mounting notches at
lower end of brake shoes on bottom mounting ledge.
Then rotate caliper over rotor and seat notches at
upper end of shoes on mounting ledge.
(4) Coat caliper mounting bolts with silicone
grease. Then install and tighten bolts to 10-20 N·m
(7-15 ft. lbs.).
CAUTION: If new caliper bolts are being installed,
or if the original reason for repair was a drag/pull
condition, check caliper bolt length before proceed-
ing. If the bolts have a shank length greater than
67.6 mm (2.66 in.), they may contact the inboard
brake shoe causing a partial apply condition. Refer
to Figure 14 for the required caliper bolt length.
(5) Position front brake hose clear of all chassis
components and tighten caliper fitting bolt to 31 N·m
(23 ft. lbs.).
CAUTION: Be sure the brake hose is not twisted or
kinked at any point. Also be sure the hose is clear
of all steering and suspension components. Loosen
and reposition the hose if necessary.

Position clamp screw on outboard brake shoe and
clamp frame on rear of caliper. Typical C-clamp
attachment is shown in (Fig. 27). Do not allow

retainer spring. Use wood or metal spacer
between shoe and clamp screw if necessary.
