Rear Disc Brake Assembly: Installation

  1. Install disc rotor on hub.
  2. Install support on back plate. Tighten to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
    CAUTION: Always replace pads for both left and right wheels at the same time. Also replace pad clips if they are twisted or worn. A wear indicator is provided on the inner disc brake pad. If the pad wears down to such an extent that the end of the wear indicator contacts the disc rotor, a squeaking sound is produced as the wheel rotates. If this sound is heard, replace the pad. Replace the pad if there is oil or grease on it.
  3. Apply a thin coat of Molykote AS880N (Part No. 26298AC000) to the frictional portion between pad and pad clip.
    CAUTION: Do not allow oil or grease to adhere to the sliding surface of pad and disc rotor.
  4. Install pads on support.
  5. Install caliper body on support. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
  6. Connect brake hose. Tighten to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
    CAUTION: The brake hose must be connected without any twist. Replace brake hose gaskets with NEW ones.
