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 failure.
6. Place the brake caliper assembly into position and
secure with new "patch-lock" cap screws. Tighten
the caliper to 20 ft-lb.
7. Place a new crush washer on each side of the brake hose
fitting and install it on the caliper. Tighten to 20 ft-lb.
8. Fill the reservoir; then bleed the brake system (see
Periodic Maintenance - Hydraulic Brake System).
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.
9. Install the wheel. Tighten in 20 ft-lb increments to 40
ft-lb (steel wheel) or 80 ft-lb (aluminum wheel).
10. Remove the vehicle from the support stand and ver-
ify brake operation.
MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY
NOTE: The master cylinder is a non-serviceable
PR239C
component; it must be replaced as an assembly.
Removing
1. Slide a piece of flexible tubing over one of the wheel
bleeder valves and direct the other end into a con-
tainer. Remove the reservoir cover; then open the
bleeder valve. Allow the brake fluid to drain until the
reservoir is empty.
2. Remove the cotter pin and pivot pin from the yoke;
PR238
then remove two cap screws and flange nuts securing
the master cylinder assembly to the frame.
