Rear Brake Caliper & Pads: Installation

  1. When installing new brake pads, caliper piston must be properly retracted. Using Piston Remover/Installer (T87P-2588-A), rotate piston clockwise until piston is fully seated.
  2. Ensure one slot in piston face is positioned so it will engage nib on brake pad. See Fig 1. Install brake pads, anti-rattle springs and brake caliper.
  3. Ensure brake pads are properly positioned. Clean retaining bolt threads and apply one drop of Threadlock & Sealer (EOAZ-19554-AA). To complete installation, reverse removal procedure. Bleed brakes. See BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM . Adjust parking brake as necessary. See PARKING BRAKE  under ADJUSTMENTS.
