Brake Pads/Shoes - Front (SRT-4): Installation

NOTE: Perform steps  1- 5 on each side of the vehicle to complete shoe set installation, then proceed to step  6.
NOTE: Inboard brake shoes are not identical side-to-side. This is due to placement of the audible wear indicator on the end of each inboard shoe. Make sure that the audible wear indicators are placed toward the top when the inboard shoes are installed on each side of the vehicle.
  1. Place the brake shoes in the abutment shims clipped into the disc brake caliper adapter.
  2. Completely retract the caliper piston back into the bore of the caliper.
    3. CAUTION: Use care when installing the caliper onto the disc brake adapter to avoid damaging the boots on the caliper guide pins.
  3. Install the disc brake caliper over the brake shoes on the brake caliper adapter. Make sure the springs on the shoes do not get caught in the hole formed into the center of the caliper housing.
  4. Align the caliper guide pin bolt holes with the guide pins. Install the caliper guide pin bolts and tighten to specifications. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  5. Install the tire and wheel assembly. Tighten the wheel mounting nuts to specification.
  6. Lower the vehicle.
  7. Pump the brake pedal several times before moving the vehicle to set the shes to the brake rotor.
  8. Check and adjust the brake fluid level as necessary.
  9. Road test the vehicle and make several stops to wear off any foreign material on the brakes and to seat the brake shoes.
