Rear Brake Pads & Caliper: Installation

  1. Using Piston Driver (SA91110NE), rotate piston clockwise until bottomed in caliper bore. When bottomed, rotate piston so tabs on back of inboard pad will be aligned with indentations on piston when pad is installed. Install NEW pad clips in caliper support. Install pads with wear sensor on outboard pad.
  2. Lubricate pin boots with silicone grease. Install lock pin boot into caliper support, ensuring boot passes all the way through caliper support. Use a lock pin as a tool to aid installation. Install guide pin boot onto caliper. Taking care not to damage piston, pins or boots, install caliper onto support.
  3. Compress pin boots by hand as caliper moves into position. Lubricate unthreaded part of lock pin with silicone grease. Ensure pin boots are aligned. Install lock pin and guide pin. Tighten to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
  4. If brake hose was disconnected, reconnect brake hose with NEW washers to caliper. Tighten brake hose bolt and bleed brakes. See BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM  . To complete installation, reverse removal procedure. Apply service brake to seat pads against rotor. Check parking brake adjustment. See PARKING BRAKE  under ADJUSTMENTS.
