Installation Procedure
1. Important: Use denatured alcohol to clean the outside surface of caliper boot before installing new brake pads.
If you are installing new brake pads, use a C-clamp in order to compress the piston to the bottom of the caliper bore. Use the old brake pad, a
metal plate or a wooden block across the face of the piston in order to protect the piston and the caliper boot.
2. Install the two brake pad retainers (4) to the caliper bracket (3).
3. Important: Ensure that the wear sensor is positioned at the trailing edge (upward) of the outer pad during forward wheel rotation.
Install the brake pads (5) over the brake pad retainers (4) and onto the caliper bracket (3).
4. Lubricate the brake caliper guide pin (1) and the guide pin boot with High Temp Brake Silicone Lube, or equivalent.
5. Notice: Use care to avoid damaging pin boot when rotating caliper.
Pivot the caliper down onto the pads.
