Front Brake Caliper & Brake Pads: Installation
NOTE:
If new caliper bolts are being installed or if reason for repair is to correct a drag or pull, check caliper bolt length. Correct caliper bolt shank length is 2.61-2.66" (66.4-67.6 mm) and thread length is 0.87" (22 mm). If caliper bolts are too long they will contact inboard pad and cause a partial apply condition.
- To install, reverse removal procedure. Apply a light coat of multipurpose grease to caliper sliding surfaces. Lubricate caliper mounting pins and bushings with silicone grease.
- Tighten caliper mounting pins to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table. Add brake fluid to reservoir. Apply brakes until brake pedal is firm. Check brake fluid level.
