Journey FWD V6-3.5L (2009)
1. Clean the rotor mounting face of the hub and bearing (1) to remove any dirt or corrosion.
2. Install the brake rotor (2) over the hub and bearing (1).
CAUTION: If the brake rotor or brake pads are being replaced, the rear caliper piston must be seated (bottomed) to compensate for the new
brake rotor or lining. Because the parking brake self-adjuster mechanism is attached to the piston, a special seating method is
required. The only acceptable method is by rotating the piston back into the bore using Retractor, Special Tool 8807, as described
below. Any other seating method will damage the self-adjuster mechanism.
3. If necessary, seat (bottom) the caliper piston in the bore as follows:
a. Assemble a 3/8 in. drive ratchet handle and an extension (3).
b. Insert the extension through Special Tool 8807-1 (2).
c. Place Special Tool 8807-2 (1) on the end of the extension.
d. Insert lugs on Special Tool 8807-2 into notches in face of caliper piston (5).
e. Thread the screw drive on 8807-1 down until it contacts the top of 8807-2 which is against the caliper piston. Do not over tighten the
screw-drive. Damage to the piston can occur.
f.
Turn 8807-2 with the ratchet, rotating the piston in a clockwise direction until fully seated (bottomed) in the bore. It may be necessary to
turn 8807-1 with 8807-2 to start the process of piston retraction.
