- Install the brake caliper bleed screw.
Tighten: Tighten the brake caliper bleed screw to 12 N.m (106 lb in).
- Install the brake caliper bleed screw cap.
- Lubricate the new piston seal and the brake caliper bore seal groove with brake fluid, GM P/N 12388967 (Canadian P/N 992667).
- Install new the seal into the brake caliper bore seal groove.
- Ensure that the seal is not twisted.

- Install the boot and the piston.
- Install the boot over the end of the piston so that the fold will face toward the brake caliper housing piston bore opening.
- Seat the boot into the brake caliper bore groove. Slide the piston into the brake caliper bore.
- Push down the piston to the bottom of the brake caliper bore.
- Ensure that the boot properly seats into the piston groove and into the groove in the brake caliper bore.
- Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the remaining piston.

NOTE:
Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
