NOTE: To avoid damage to the bushing, do not use a sharp object to install the guide pin bushing in the caliper boss.
Insert the folded bushing (2) into the caliper (1) mounting boss until it is centered in the boss.

Unfold the bushing using fingers or a wooden dowel until the bushing is fully seated against the caliper boss bore. The bushing flanges should be evenly seated (1) on both sides of the mounting boss (2).
Lubricate the inside surfaces of the bushing using Mopar Dielectric Grease or an equivalent.

Starts the guide pin sleeve (1) into one end of bushing (2) until the sleeve leading end seal groove is past the seal area of the bushing convoluted boot.
While holding the convoluted boot on the opposite end of the bushing, continue to push the sleeve through the bushing until the bushing boot is fully seated into the outboard seal groove on that end of sleeve.
Seat the opposite end bushing boot into the groove on the trailing end of the bushing sleeve.
Verify both ends of the bushing are properly seated in the sleeve outboard grooves. When the sleeve is seated properly into the bushing, the sleeve/bushing can be easily slid back and forth without the bushing unseating from the sleeve groove.
