DO NOT allow grease to contact rubbing face of pads. Wear indicator must be on top side of pad.NOTE: Pushing piston into caliper bore forces fluid back into master cylinder reservoir. Remove reservoir cap when compressing piston.
- Press piston into caliper bore. DO NOT let piston dust boot wedge against edge of pads. To complete installation, reverse removal procedure. Tighten bolts to specification. See appropriate TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS at end of article. Check reservoir fluid level.
