Position the inner pads and anti−rattle clip in the abutment with the anti−rattle clip tab against the pad

abutment and the loop−type spring away from the rotor. Compress the anti−rattle clip and slide the

upper end of the pad in position.

Install the outer pad, making sure the torque buttons on the pad spring clip are seated solidly in the

matching holes in the caliper.

Install the caliper on the spindle, making sure the mounting surfaces are free of dirt and lubricate the

caliper grooves with Disc Brake Caliper Grease. Install new caliper pins, making sure the pins are

installed with the tang in position as shown. The pin must be installed with the lead tang in first, the

bolt head facing outward (if equipped) and the pin positioned as shown. Position the lead tang in the

V−slot mounting surface and drive in the caliper until the drive tang is flush with the caliper

assembly. Install the nut (if equipped) and tighten to 32−47 inch lbs.

Never reuse caliper pins. Always install new pins whenever a caliper is removed.

Install the wheel and tire assembly.

Remove the jackstands and lower the vehicle. Torque the lug nuts to 30 ft. lbs. (65 Nm).

The first couple of times you apply the brakes, the pedal may go to the floor. Continue to pump the

brake pedal until it feels firm.

Check the brake fluid level and fill as necessary. Check the brakes for proper operation before driving

the vehicle.
