installed on the correct knuckle. The caliper bleed screw should
bepositioned on top of the caliper when assembled on the vehicle.
8. Tighten the locating pins to 18-25 ft. lbs. (24-34 Nm) or the rear brake pin retainers
to 25 ft. lbs. (34 Nm).
9. Remove the plug and install the brake hose on the caliper using a new copper
washer on each side of the fitting outlet. Insert the attaching bolt through the
washers and fittings, then tighten to 30-40 ft. lbs. (41-54 Nm).
