INSTALL
(1) Lubricate both steering knuckle abutments
with a liberal amount of Mopar Multipurpose Lubri-
cant, or equivalent.
(2) If removed, install the front rotor on the hub,
making sure it is squarely seated on face of hub.
CAUTION: Use care when installing the caliper
assembly onto the steering knuckle so the seals on
the caliper guide pin bushings do not get damaged
by the steering knuckle bosses.
(3) Carefully position caliper and brake shoe
assemblies over brake rotor by first hooking top of
brake shoes on the machined abutment on upper
steering knuckle (Fig. 45). Then rotate the bottom of
the brake caliper into position on the steering
knuckle. Make sure that caliper guide pin bolts,
bushings and sleeves are clear of the steering
knuckle bosses.
NOTE: When being installed, extreme caution must
be taken not to cross thread the caliper guide pin
bolts.
(4) Install the brake caliper guide pin bolts (Fig.
44). Then tighten the guide pin bolts to a torque of
22 N·m (16 ft. lbs.).
(5) Install the wheel and tire assembly.
(6) Tighten the wheel mounting stud nuts in
proper sequence until all nuts are torqued to half
specification. Then repeat the tightening sequence to
the full specified torque of 135 N·m (100 ft. lbs.).
