Storing Disc Brake Caliper
5. Support the disc brake caliper firmly using a wire hanger. This is required to prevent the weight of the caliper from damaging the flexible
brake hose.
INSTALL
NOTE: Step 1 below is only required when installing a caliper after new brake shoes have been installed.
1. Completely retract the caliper piston back into the bore of the caliper.
2. Lubricate both steering knuckle abutments with a liberal amount of Mopar Multipurpose Lubricant, or equivalent.
3. If removed, install the front rotor on the hub, making sure it is squarely seated on face of hub.
CAUTION: Use care when installing the caliper assembly onto the steering knuckle so the seals on the caliper guide pin bushings do not get
damaged by the steering knuckle bosses.
Installing Caliper Assembly On Steering Knuckle
4. Carefully position the brake caliper and brake shoes on the steering knuckle by first hooking the end of the caliper under the edge of the steering
knuckle as shown. Then rotate caliper into position on the steering knuckle.
5. Install the caliper guide pin bolts and tighten to 18 - 20 Nm (192 inch lbs.). Extreme caution should be taken not to cross thread the caliper guide
pin bolts.
6. Install the wheel and tire assembly.
7. Tighten the wheel mounting stud nuts in proper sequence until all nuts are torqued to half specification. Then repeat the tightening sequence to the
full specified torque of 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.).
8. Remove jackstands or lower hoist. Before moving vehicle, pump the brake pedal several times to insure the vehicle has a firm brake pedal.
9. Road test the vehicle and make several stops to wear off any foreign material on the brakes and to seat the brake pads.
