Reassembly
CAUTION:
• Make sure all parts are clean before reassembly.
• Use only new replacement parts.
• Use only clean DOT3 or 4 brake fluid.
• Do not allow dirt or other foreign matter to con-
taminate the brake fluid.
• Avoid spilling brake fluid on painted, plastic or rubber
surfaces as it can damage the finish. Wash spilled
brake fluid off immediately with clean water.
1. Pack all cavities of the needle bearing with a com-
mercially-available assembly lube.
2. Coat the new cam boot with a commercially-
available assembly lube and install in the caliper.
3. Apply commercially-available assembly lube to the
pin contacting area of the cam, and install the cam
and lever assembly into the caliper body.
4. Install the return spring.
CAUTION:
• When the cam and lever were separated, be
sure to assemble them before installing the cam
in the caliper body. Install the lever and spring
washer, apply locking agent to the threads, and
tighten the parking nut while holding the lever
with a vise.
• Avoid damaging the cam boot since it must be
installed before the cam.
• When installing the cam, do not allow the cam
boot lips to turn outside in.
