ASSEMBLY - CALIPER GUIDE PIN BUSHINGS (DISC/DISC BRAKES)
1. Fold the guide pin bushing in half lengthwise.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the bushing, do not use a sharp object to install the guide pin bushing.
2. Insert the folded bushing into the caliper mounting boss using your fingers from the rear of the caliper.
3. Unfold the bushing using your fingers or a wooden dowel until the bushing is fully seated into the caliper housing. The bushing flanges should be
seated evenly on both sides of the bushing hole.
4. Lubricate inside surfaces of bushing using Mopar Dielectric Grease or equivalent.
5. Repeat the procedure for remaining bushing.
ASSEMBLY - CALIPER PISTON AND SEAL
NOTE: Never use an old piston seal.
Installing New Piston Seal In Caliper
1. Dip the new piston seal in clean brake fluid and install it in the groove of the caliper bore. The seal should be started at one area of the groove and
gently worked around and into the groove using only your clean fingers to seat it.
2. Coat the new piston boot with clean brake fluid.
3. Position the dust boot over the piston after coating it with brake fluid.
CAUTION: Force applied to the piston to seat it in the bore must be applied uniformly to avoid cocking and binding of the piston.
Installing Piston Into Caliper Bore
4. Install piston into caliper bore pushing it past the piston seal until it bottoms in the caliper bore.
5. Position the dust boot into the counterbore of the caliper assembly piston bore.
