    CAUTION:

    Ensure that sensor mounting surface on bearing is clean before sensor installation.

  3. Pass the wheel speed sensor head (2) through the hole in the brake shield, then push it into the mounting hole in hub and bearing (1) and align the mounting screw hole.
  4. Install a NEW mounting screw (2). Tighten the mounting screw to 6 N.m (55 in. lbs.).

  5. Clean the rotor mounting face of the hub and bearing (1) to remove any dirt or corrosion.
  6. Install the brake rotor (2) over the hub and bearing (1).
    CAUTION:

    If the brake rotor or brake pads are being replaced, the rear caliper piston must be seated (bottomed) to compensate for the new brake rotor or lining. Because the parking brake self-adjuster mechanism is attached to the piston, a special seating method is required. The only acceptable method is by rotating the piston back into the bore using Retractor, Special Tool, as described below. Any other seating method will damage the self-adjuster mechanism.

  7. If necessary, seat (bottom) the caliper piston in the bore as follows:
    1. Assemble a 3/8 in. drive ratchet handle and an extension (3).
    2. Insert the extension through Special Tool (special tool #8807-1, Assembly, Forcing Screw) (2).
    3. Place Special Tool (special tool #8807-2, Adapter) (1) on the end of the extension.
    4. Insert lugs on Special Tool (special tool #8807-2, Adapter) into notches in face of caliper piston (5).
    5. Thread the screw drive on (special tool #8807-1, Assembly, Forcing Screw) down until it contacts the top of (special tool #8807-2, Adapter) which is against the caliper piston. Do not over tighten the screw-drive. Damage to the piston can occur. 
    6. Turn (special tool #8807-2, Adapter) with the ratchet, rotating the piston in a clockwise  direction until fully seated (bottomed) in the bore. It may be necessary to turn  (special tool #8807-1, Assembly, Forcing Screw)with  (special tool #8807-2, Adapter)to start the process of piston retraction.
