Brake Caliper: Service and Repair
Inspection
For additional information see Installation Notes. See: Fundamentals and Basics
1. Install new inner and outer pad. Install anti-rattle spring.
NOTE:
-
Always replace all pad and lining assemblies on an axle. Never service one wheel only.
-
There is a raised section at one end of each pad so that installation can be made in one direction only.
2. Install the caliper on the spindle, making sure the mounting surfaces are free of dirt and lubricate the caliper grooves with disc brake caliper
grease.
3. Position pin with the pin retention tabs oriented adjacent to the spindle groove.
4. Tap the pin on the outboard end with a hammer. Continue tapping the pin inward until the retention tabs on the sides of the pin contact the spindle
face. Repeat procedure for the lower pin.
Correct Caliper Pin Installation
CAUTION: During the installation procedure do not allow the tabs of the caliper pin to be tapped too far into the spindle groove. If this happens
