6 Assembly and Installation
NOTE: New brake pads are identical and there are no specific
inboard or outboard brake pads. If the old pads are reinstalled,
they should be installed in the same position from which they were
removed. Reinstalling old pads in the wrong position will result in
accelerated and/or uneven lining wear.
1. Install the brake pads and pad retainer. Tighten the pad retainer
bolt. Refer to Section 11 Specifications on page 26.

2. Fill the brake reservoir with new OEM-recommended brake
fluid.
3. Apply the brakes a few time to adjust the piston and check for
leaks. If no leaks are detected, then proceed to bleeding the
brake system.
CAUTION
To remove air from the caliper, the two bleed screws must
be used in a specific sequence to correctly bleed the
brakes. Otherwise air can enter the system and affect brake
performance. Damage to components can result.
4. Bleed the brake system according to the vehicle
manufacturer's procedure. Bleed the caliper according to the
Brake Caliper Bleeding Procedure on page 19.
5. Install the tire and wheel assembly according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
6. Lower the vehicle. Road test for correct operation.
