Brake Caliper Bracket
REMOVAL
1. Remove rear disc brake caliper. If service is not necessary to the rear disc brake caliper assembly, it is not necessary to disconnect the rear wheel
brake hose from the rear disc brake caliper in this operation. Support the rear disc brake caliper so the rear wheel brake hose is not stretched or
twisted.
NOTE: Do not remove the rear disc support bracket unless it is being replaced.
2. Remove and discard both the upper and lower support plate-to-rear disc brake adapter mounting bolts. Remove the rear disc support bracket.
INSTALLATION
1. Clean all foreign material and locking compound residue from the mating surfaces of the rear disc brake adapter and rear disc support bracket.
2. Position the rear disc support bracket on the rear disc brake adapter. Install new upper and lower mounting bolts finger-tight.
3. Tighten both bolts to 87-119 Nm (65-87 ft. lbs.).
4. Install the rear disc brake caliper assembly.
