Disc Pads (Parking Brake): Installation

Install new pads, short face up and check retaining bolts for fit in pads. Install a new retraction plate and reassemble carrier to main caliper, but do not tighten bolts. Pull and release hand brake lever until ratchet stops. With hand brake lever pulled reasonably hard, tighten carrier pivot bolts and secure locking tabs. Reconnect hand brake linkage and check adjustment.

Wind pad carrier out along adjuster bolt two or three turns. Use new clamp bolts, nuts and washers to secure new pads. Wind carrier along adjuster bolt to give dimension of 0.750" (19.05 mm) between pad faces. Place pad carriers in position on caliper. Install retraction plate with tips in pad carrier. Secure pad carrier with bolts and tab washers. Move operating lever back and forth until ratchet stops. This sets pads to correct clearance. Reinstall suspension system, connect fluid line, hand brake cable and bleed brakes.
