Rear Disc Brake Caliper: Installation

  1. Completely retract caliper piston back into piston bore of caliper assembly.
  2. Lubricate both adapter abutments with a liberal amount of Mopar® Multipurpose Lubricant, or equivalent.
  3. If removed, install the rotor on the hub making sure it is squarely seated on the face of the hub.
  4. 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.
  5. Carefully lower caliper and brake shoes over rotor reversing the removal procedure. Make sure that the caliper guide pin bolts, bushings and sleeves are clear of the adapter bosses.
  6. CAUTION: Extreme caution should be taken not to cross thread the caliper guide pin bolts when they are installed.
  7. Install the caliper guide pin bolts. Tighten the caliper guide pin bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  8. 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 specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  9. Install rear wheel and tire assembly.
  10. Tighten the wheel mounting nuts to specification. Then repeat the tightening sequence and tighten completely. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .

  12. Remove the brake pedal depressor holding tool.
  13. Bleed the hydraulic brake circuit to the brake caliper. See BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM .
  14. Road test the vehicle and make several stops to wear off any foreign material on the brakes and to seat the brake pads.
