BRAKE PADS/SHOES - FRONT (Continued)
Replace both disc brake shoes (inboard and out-
board) on each caliper. It is necessary to replace the
shoes on the opposite side of the vehicle as well as
the shoes failing inspection.
If the brake shoe assemblies do not require
replacement, be sure to reinstall the brake shoes in
the original position they were removed from.
INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION - FRONT DISC BRAKE SHOES
NOTE: There may be more than 1 lining material
released. Make sure proper linings are being
installed.
(1) Begin on one side of the vehicle or the other.
(2) Completely retract the caliper piston back into
its bore in the brake caliper (This is required for cal-
iper installation on the brake rotor with new brake
shoes installed).
(3) If applied, remove the protective paper from
the noise suppression gasket on the rear of both the
inner and outer brake shoe assemblies.
(4) Install the new inboard brake shoe into the cal-
iper piston by firmly pressing its retaining clip into
the piston bore. Be sure the inboard brake shoe is
positioned squarely against the face of the caliper
piston.
(5) Lubricate both adapter abutments where the
shoes slide with a small amount of Mopar Dielectric
grease, or equivalent.
(6) Slide the new outboard brake shoe into the cal-
iper adapter with the lining up against the outside of
the brake rotor.
CAUTION: Use care when installing the caliper
assembly onto the caliper adapter, so the caliper
guide pin bushings do not get damaged by the
adapter bosses.
(7) Carefully position the brake caliper over the
brake rotor and adapter.
(8) Install the caliper guide pin bolts and tighten
to a torque of 35 N·m (26 ft. lbs.). Extreme caution
should be taken not to cross thread the caliper
guide pin bolts.
(9) Install the caps over the caliper guide pin bolts.
(10) Install the new caliper hold down spring (anti-
rattle clip) on the outboard side of the caliper. Start
the spring into the holes on the caliper, then stretch
the clip legs past the abutments on the caliper
adapter.
(11) Repeat the above procedure on other side of
the vehicle.
(12) Install the wheel and tire assemblies. Tighten
the wheel mounting 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.).
(13) Lower vehicle.
(14) Pump the brake pedal several times. This will
set the shoes to the brake rotor.
(15) Check and adjust brake fluid level as neces-
sary.
(16) Road test the vehicle and make several stops
to wear off any foreign material on the brakes and to
seat the brake shoes.
INSTALLATION - FRONT DISC BRAKE SHOES
(DISC/DRUM BRAKES)
NOTE: Perform steps Step 1 through Step 5on each
side of the vehicle.
(1) Place the brake shoes in the adapter anti-rattle
clips.
(2) Completely retract the caliper piston back into
the bore of the caliper.
CAUTION: Use care when installing the caliper onto
the disc brake adapter to avoid damaging the boots
on the caliper guide pins.
(3) Install the disc brake caliper over the brake
shoes on the brake caliper adapter.
(4) Align the caliper guide pin bolt holes with the
guide pins. Install the caliper guide pin bolts and
tighten them to a torque of 35 N·m (26 ft. lbs.) (Fig.
22).
(5) Install the tire and wheel assembly. Tighten
the wheel mounting nuts to a torque of 135 N·m (100
ft. lbs.).
(6) Lower the vehicle.
(7) Pump the brake pedal several times. This will
set the shoes to the brake rotor.
(8) Check and adjust the brake fluid level as nec-
essary.
(9) Road test the vehicle and make several stops to
wear off any foreign material on the brakes and to
seat the brake shoes.
