Brake Caliper & Pads: Installation
- Reconnect brake caliper hose if unit is removed from vehicle. Using Disc Brake Pad Spreader (D79L 2196 A), push piston back into caliper bore. Use care to prevent damage to piston boot. Install inboard and outboard pads. See Fig 1 .
- Position caliper over rotor. Ensure brake pads are properly engaged on anchor plate. Sensor wire must be positioned between caliper and anchor before installing caliper attaching bolts.NOTE: When caliper is installed, ensure brake hose has not been "kinked" by rotation of caliper. If caliper is rotated during installation, the "kinked" condition may cause the flexible hose to break. See Fig 2 .
- Install caliper-to-anchor attaching pins. Tighten bolt to 18-23 ft. lbs. (25-30 N.m). Install anti-rattle spring. Connect wear sensor. Make sure "O" ring is in position before making connection. To complete installation, reverse removal procedure.
