To install, reverse removal procedure and note the following special instructions.
On models with pin slider type caliper: Tighten caliper end retainer and install parking brake lever (Continental and Mark VII, rear caliper). Seat piston in caliper bore before shoe installation. Install new locating pin insulators and plastic sleeves. Make sure plastic sleeve flanges straddle caliper housing hole. Anti-rattle spring must be installed on inner shoe before shoe is installed in caliper. Make sure inner and outer shoes are installed correctly. Shoes are marked for left side (LH) or right side (RH) use. Outer shoes have wear indicators which are installed toward front of vehicle.

On all vehicles make sure master cylinder is full of brake fluid. Fill if necessary. Depress brake pedal several times to position caliper and brake shoe on rotor.
