wood block over the piston before installing the C-clamp to avoid damaging the piston.
2. Slide the outboard brake pad onto the caliper. Be sure the retaining clip is squarely seated in the depressed areas on the caliper beyond the raised
retaining bead.
CAUTION: Use care when installing the caliper onto the disc brake adapter to avoid damaging the guide pin boots.
3. Install the disc brake caliper with outboard brake pad attached over the inboard brake pad and rotor, onto the brake caliper adapter bracket.
NOTE: When installing the caliper guide pin bolts (2, 3), make sure the bolts are put back in the same locations as when removed to avoid
NVH issues. Depending on the build date and services performed, the location of the bolt with the special sleeve on the tip (3) can vary.
4. Align the caliper guide pin bolt holes with the adapter bracket. Install the lower (with special sleeve) (2) and upper (3) caliper guide pin bolts.
Tighten the guide pin bolts to 43 Nm (32 ft. lbs.).
NOTE: Once the caliper is installed, inspect the outboard brake pad to make sure it is correctly positioned. The retaining clip (2) must be
squarely seated in the depressed areas (1) on the caliper fingers. Also, the nubs on the pad's steel backing plate must be fully seated in the
depressions formed into the inside of the caliper fingers. There should be no gap between the pad backing plate and the caliper fingers.
