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.

hose fitting and install it on the caliper. Tighten to 20
ft-lb.

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.

80 ft-lb (aluminum wheels).
