(2) Apply thin coat of contact cement or silicone

sive is needed to hold boot in position when splash
shield is attached to bracket.

(3) Install new boot on caliper bracket. Metal
retainer part of boot fits over ledge on caliper as
shown (Fig. 56). Rubber part of boot extends through
rear opening in bracket. Allow adhesive on boot and
bracket to set up for a minute or two before proceed-
ing.
CAUTION: If the boot is not installed properly, it
will prevent the shield from seating squarely on the
bracket. This will cock the shield causing it to rub
against the rotor after installation.
