    CAUTION: Use care when installing caliper assembly onto adapter so the guide pin bushings and sleeves do not get damaged by the mounting bosses on adapter.
  4. Carefully lower caliper and brake shoes over rotor reversing the removal procedure. See Figure. Make sure that the caliper guide pin bolts, bushings and sleeves are clear of the adapter bosses.
    CAUTION: Extreme caution should be taken not to cross thread the caliper guide pin bolts when they are installed.
  5. Install the caliper guide pin bolts. See Figure. Tighten the caliper guide pin bolts to a torque of 22 N.m (192 in. lbs.).
  6. Install the brake hose on the caliper. To do this, first place one NEW special fitting washer on each side of the hose fitting, then slide the banjo bolt through the fitting. Next, thread the banjo bolt into the threaded port on the rear of the brake caliper. Tighten the banjo bolt to a torque of 35 N.m (26 ft. lbs.).
  7. Install wheels and tire assembly.
  8. Tighten the wheel mounting stud 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.).
  9. Lower vehicle.
  10. Remove the brake pedal depressor (holding) tool.
  11. Bleed the hydraulic brake circuit to the brake caliper. (Refer to BRAKES - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
