7.1. | Install a large C-clamp over the top of the caliper housing and against the back of the outboard pad. |
7.2. | Slowly tighten the C-clamp until the piston pushes into the caliper bore enough to slide the caliper off the rotor |
7.3. | Remove the C-clamp from the caliper. |
Important: Install a rubber cap or plug to the exposed brake pipe fitting end in order to prevent brake fluid loss and contamination.
Important: Lift the inner edge caliper boot next to the piston. Press out any trapped air. The boot must lay flat below the level of the piston face.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the caliper guide pin bolts to 31 N·m (23 lb ft).
Notice: Make sure the brake hose is not twisted or kinked after installation. Damage to the hose could result.
Important: Install NEW copper brake hose gaskets.
Tighten
Tighten the brake hose bolt to 44 N·m (33 lb ft).
