Front Disc Brake Pads: Installation
- On Loyale, use Piston Wrench (926430000) and Spacer (926440000) to turn piston clockwise to seat it in caliper bore and align caliper piston notches with raised tab on installed pads. See Fig 1
. After turning and seating piston, check piston boot for twist. On Legacy and SVX, push piston(s) into caliper body.
- On Loyale, install anti-squeak shim on outer pad only. On Legacy and SVX, install anti-squeak shims on both inner and outer pads. Install pad clips to support bracket, and install pads. On all models, 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.
