Using tool, No. J 22835, remove the sleeves from the
inboard ears of the caliper. See Fig. 5-41. Next, remove the
rubber bushings from the grooves in each of the four caliper
ears.
Cleaning and Inspection
1. Thoroughly clean the holes and the bushing grooves
in the caliper ears. Wipe all dirt from the mounting bolts. Do
not use abrasives on the bolts since this will damage the
plating. If the bolts are corroded, or damaged, they should
be replaced.
2.
Examine the inside of the caliper for evidence of fluid
leakage. If leakage is noted, the caliper should be over hauled.
Wipe the inside of the caliper clean, including the exterior
of the dust boot. Check the boot for cuts, cracks or other
damage. Make sure that the boot is properly engaged in the
groove in the piston and also in the caliper counter-bore. See
Fig. 5-43.
C AUTI 0 N
:
Do not use compressed air to clean
the inside o f the caliper since this may cause the
dust boot to become unseated.
3.
If the vehicle has a brake problem and diagnosis points
to the rotor, it should be inspected and checked for runout
at this time.
Caliper Installation
CAUTION: It is essential that the new sleeves and
rubber bushings be used in order to insure the
proper functioning of the sliding caliper design.
2.
Use Tool, J 22835, to install the sleeves. See Fig. 5-44.
Position the sleeves so that the end toward the shoe and lining
assemblies is flush with the machined surface of the ear.
3.
Install the shoe support spring by replacing the single
tang end of the spring over the notch in the center of the edge
of the shoe. Then press the two tangs at the spring end of the
inboard shoe spring over the bottom edge of the shoe so that
they engage the shoe securely, as shown in Fig. 5-45.
4.
Position the inboard shoe and lining assembly (with
spring attached) on the caliper so that the ear end of the shoe
and lining is down and the bottom end up at an angle with
the spring resting on the piston I.D. See Fig. 5-46. Press down
on both ends of the shoe until the shoe is in a flat position,
resting on the piston. The spring end of the inboard shoe
support spring should be resting on the I.D. of the piston.
C AUTI 0 N: On inboard shoes there is a specific
left hand and right hand shoe, When properly
installed the wear sensor will be toward rear of
caliper.
5.
Position the outboard shoe in the caliper, with the ears
at the top of the shoe over the caliper ears and the tab at the
bottom of the shoe engaged in the caliper cut-out. See Fig.
5-47.
Be sure to note right and left brake shoes.
6.
Position the caliper over the rotor, lining up the holes
in the caliper ears with the holes in the mounting bracket.
1. Install rubber bushings in all four caliper ears.
