Removal Procedure
Caution: Refer to Brake Dust Caution in the Preface section.
- Remove
the disc brake caliper bolts (1,3).
- Using a c-clamp installed to the center of the outer disc brake pad and
the back of the caliper, slowly compress the caliper piston into its bore just enough
to remove the caliper from the mounting bracket (12).
- Remove the disc brake caliper (15) from the mounting bracket.
- Remove the disc brake pads (9,10) from the disc brake caliper bracket.
- Remove the disc brake pad retainers (11) from the disc brake caliper
bracket.
- Remove the disc brake caliper bolt boots (4,13) from the caliper mounting
bracket.
- Lightly wire brush all brake pad contact areas in order to remove any
corrosion.
Installation Procedure
- Install
the caliper bolt boots (4,13) to the disc brake caliper mounting bracket (12).
- Install the disc brake pad retainers (11) to the disc brake caliper bracket.
- Install the disc brake pads (9,10) to the disc brake caliper bracket.
- Install the disc brake caliper (15) from the mounting bracket.
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.
- Install the disc brake caliper bolts (1,3).
Tighten
Tighten the disc brake caliper bolts to 110 N·m (81 lb ft).
- Apply and release the brake pedal 3/4 stroke as many times as necessary
in order to obtain a firm brake pedal.
