11. Apply Molykote M77 grease or Daikalub 528D grease to both sides of the pad shims (A) and the back of the pads (B). Wipe excess grease off the
shim. Contaminated brake discs or pads reduce stopping ability. Keep grease off the discs and pads.
12. Install the brake pads and pad shims correctly. The '99-01 models have two pairs of the pad shims. The '02 model has one pair of the pad shims.
Install the pad with the wear indicator (C) on the inside.
NOTE: Check the brake fluid level, the brake fluid may overflow the reservoir if too full.
13. Push in the piston (A) so that the caliper will fit over the pads. Make sure that the piston boot is in position to prevent damaging it when pivoting
the caliber down.
14. Pivot the caliper down into position. Hold the caliper pin with a wrench, being careful not to damage the pin boot. Install the caliper bolt (B), with
another wrench, and torque it to proper specification.
15. Install the brake hose onto the knuckle.
16. Press the brake pedal several times to make sure the brakes work, then test-drive.
Engagement of the brake may require a greater pedal stroke immediately after the brake pads have been replaced as a set. Several applications of
the brake pedal will restore the normal pedal stroke.
17. After installation, check for leaks at hose and line joints or connections, and retighten if necessary.
