3. Apply high-temperature silicone grease (supplied
with the O-ring kit) to the inside of the caliper holder
bores and O-rings; then install the four O-rings into
the caliper.
4. Install the caliper onto the caliper holder making sure
the caliper and holder are correctly oriented.
 NOTE: It is very important to apply silicone grease
to the O-rings and caliper bores prior to assembly.
5. Making sure brake fluid does not contact the brake pads,
compress the caliper holder toward the caliper and install
the inner brake pad; then install the outer pad.
CAUTION
If brake pads become contaminated with brake fluid,
they must be thoroughly cleaned with brake cleaning
solvent or replaced with new pads. Failure to do so will
result in reduced braking and premature brake pad fail-
ure.

6. Place the brake caliper assembly into position and
secure with new "patch-lock" cap screws. Tighten to
20 ft-lb.

7. Place a new crush washer on each side of the brake
hose fitting and install it on the caliper. Tighten to 20
ft-lb.
8. Fill the reservoir; then bleed the brake system (see
Periodic Maintenance).
Never use brake fluid from an open container or reuse
brake fluid. Moisture-contaminated brake fluid could
cause vapor build-up (expansion) during hard braking
resulting in greatly increased stopping distance or loss
of control leading to injury or death.
9. Install the wheel and tighten the wheel nuts in 20 ft-lb
increments to a final torque of 40 ft-lb (steel wheel),
60 ft-lb (aluminium wheel w/black nuts), or 80 ft-lb
(aluminum wheel w/chrome nuts).
10. Remove the ATV from the support stand and verify
