on the build date, this special sleeve bolt (3) can be located in either the top or bottom location. When installing, make sure the bolts
are put back in the same locations as when removed to avoid NVH issues.

INSTALLATION
1. Completely retract the caliper piston back into the bore of the caliper. Use a C-clamp to retract the piston. Place a wood block over the piston
before installing the C-clamp to avoid damaging the piston.
CAUTION: Use care when installing the caliper (4) onto the adapter bracket (1) to avoid damaging the guide pin boots.
2. Install the disc brake caliper over the brake pads on the brake caliper adapter bracket.
NOTE: When installing the caliper guide pin bolts (2, 3) make sure that the one that has a special sleeve on the end is installed in the upper
mounting hole.
3. Align the caliper guide pin bolt holes with the adapter bracket. Install the upper (with special sleeve) (2) and lower (3) caliper guide pin bolts.
Tighten the guide pin bolts to 43 Nm (32 ft. lbs.).
