and the outboard brake shoe anti-rattle clip out from under the front abutment on the adapter.
Correctly Supported Caliper
5. Support caliper to prevent the weight of the caliper from damaging the flexible brake hose.
6. If the brake rotor needs to be removed it can be removed by removing the retainer clips and then pulling the rotor straight off the wheel mounting
studs.
7. Remove the outboard brake shoe from the caliper. Brake shoe is removed by pushing the shoe toward the piston, disengaging the two metal
protrusions on the shoe back, then sliding the brake shoe off the caliper.
8. Remove inboard brake shoe from caliper. Inboard brake shoe is removed by pulling it out of the caliper piston, until the retaining clip is free of the
piston.
INSTALLATION - REAR DISC BRAKE SHOES
1. Completely retract caliper piston back into piston bore of caliper assembly.
2. Lubricate both adapter abutments where the shoes contact with a liberal amount of Mopar Multipurpose Lubricant, or equivalent.
3. If removed, install the brake rotor on the hub, making sure it is squarely seated on the face of the hub.
4. Install the inboard brake shoe into the caliper piston by firmly pressing it into the piston bore using your thumbs. Be sure inboard brake shoe is
positioned squarely against the face of the caliper piston.
5. Install the outboard brake shoe on the disc brake caliper. Be sure the outboard shoe is positioned squarely against the outboard fingers of the
caliper.
CAUTION: Use care when installing the caliper assembly onto the adapter, so the caliper guide pin bushings do not get damaged by the
mounting bosses.
6. Carefully lower caliper and brake shoes over rotor and onto adapter, reversing the removal procedure.
CAUTION: When installing the caliper guide pin bolts extreme caution should be taken not to crossthread the guide pin bolts.
