Rear Brake Caliper & Pads: Installation
- 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. See Fig 1.
- Install the new slipper and brake pads.
- Position the caliper on the anchor plate and install the bolts. See Figure. 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 . Pump the brake pedal several times to make sure the caliper piston is extended to its operating position.
- Recheck the master cylinder fluid level. Verify correct brake operation.
