Front Brake Pads: Installation
- Using piston wrench, turn piston clockwise to seat piston in caliper bore and position caliper notches to align with raised tab on installed pads. See Fig 1. After turning and seating piston, check piston boot for twist.
- Install shim on outer pad only (if required). Install pad clips to support bracket, and install pads. Rotate caliper body down, aligning piston notches with pad tabs. Install lower caliper guide pin bolt. Reconnect parking brake cable. Depress brake pedal several times to set pad-to-rotor clearance.
