4. Remove the pad retainers (A). and check the caliper
pins for free movement.
5. Clean the caliper thoroughly; remove any rust, and
check for grooves and cracks.
6. Check the brake disc for damage and cracks.
7. Apply Dow Corning Molykote M77 grease to the
retainers on their mating surfaces against the
caliper bracket.
8. Install the pad retainers. Wipe excess grease off the
retainers. Contaminated brake discs and pads
reduce stopping ability. Keep grease off the discs
and pads.
9. Apply Dow Corning Molykote M77 grease to both
sides of the pad shims (AI, the back of the pads (BI,
and the other areas indicated by the arrows. Wipe
excess grease off the shim. Contaminated brake
discs and pads reduce stopping ability. Keep
grease off the discs and pads.
10. Install the brake pads and pad shims correctly.
Install the pads with the wear indicators (C) on the
inside.
If you are reusing the pads, always reinstall the
brake pads in their original positions to prevent a
momentary loss of braking efficiency.
11. Rotate the caliper piston clockwise into the cylinder,
then align the cutout (AI in the piston with the tab
(BI on the inner pad by turning the piston back so
the caliper can be installed on the pad. Lubricate
the boot with rubber grease to avoid twisting the
piston boot. If the piston boot is twisted, back it out
so it is positioned properly.

and tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
13. Install the brake hose (EI.
14. Press the brake pedal several times to make sure
the brake works, then test-drive.
NOTE: Engagement of the brake may require a
greeter pedal stroke immediately after the brake
pads have been replaced as a set. Several
applications of the brake pedal will restore the
normal pedal stroke.
15. Check the parking brake adjustment (see page 19-7).
16. After installation, check for leaks at hose and line
joints or connections, and retighten
if
necessary.
