6. Remove the pad retainers (A).
7. Clean the caliper thoroughly; remove any rust, and check for grooves and cracks.
8. Check the brake disc for damage and cracks.
9. Install the pad retainers.
10. Apply Molykote M77 grease (P/N 08798-9010) to both sides of the pad shim (A), the back of the pads (B), and the other areas indicated by the
arrows. Wipe excess grease off the shim. Contaminated brake discs and pads reduce stopping ability. Keep grease off the discs and pads.
11. Install the brake pads and pad shims correctly. Install the pads with the wear indicators (C) on the inside. If you are reusing the pads, always
reinstall the brake pads in their original positions to prevent a momentary loss of braking efficiency.
12. Push in the piston (A) so the caliper will fit over the pads. Check the brake fluid level. The brake fluid may overflow if the reservoir is too full.
Make sure the piston boot is in position to prevent damaging it when pivoting the caliper down.
