Front Disc Pads: Installation

  1. Turn piston clockwise with piston wrench to seat piston in caliper bore and align notches. See Fig 1 . After turning and seating piston, check piston boot for twist. If twisted, use a strip driver to correct.
  2. Install shim on outer pad only (if required), then install clips and pads. Rotate caliper body down and install stop plug and pin. Reconnect parking brake cable. Depress brake pedal several times to set pad-to-rotor clearance.
