1. NOTE: Do not remove the anchor pins unless installing new pins.
Inspect the anchor plate guide pins. They should slide in and out of the anchor plates with no binding. Check the boots for cracks or tears. If the
pins do not slide easily or the boots are cracked or torn, install new boots and pins. Lubricate the pins using Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and
Dielectric Compound D7AZ-19A331-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESE-M1C171-A.

sure the slippers are correctly positioned with the slipper ends snug against the outboard end of the anchor plate rail.
