Shoe & Lining Replacement: Installation

  1. Install new piston check valve. Using silicone grease, install new bushings and sleeves. Place new inboard shoe on piston with "D" shaped tab fitting into indentation in piston. Install outboard shoe.
    NOTE: If piston requires rotation, use a spanner wrench (tool J-7624) to turn it.
  2. Slide caliper over rotor and install mounting bolts under inboard shoe ears. Using new washers, install brake line. Pump brake pedal to seat lining against caliper. Using channel lock pliers, clinch upper ears of outboard shoe against caliper, making sure all ears are flat against caliper with no clearance.
  3. Rotate lever toward front of car and torque nut to 30-40 ft. lbs. Rotate lever back against stop on caliper and install spring. Connect and adjust parking brake cable. After bleeding brake system, pump brake several times to adjust. Remove one lug nut used to retain rotor and install wheel.
