5. Using vernier calipers, measure the thickness of each brake pad lining. Measurement does not include pad backing plate (A) thickness.
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 or Daikalub 528D grease to the pad side of the shims (A) and 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.
11. Install the brake pads (B) and pad shims on the caliper bracket. Install the inner pad with its wear indicator (C) facing downward.
If you are reusing the pads, always reinstall the pads in their original positions to prevent a momentary loss of braking efficiency.
12. Push in the piston so the caliper will fit over the pads. Make sure the piston boot is in position to prevent damaging it when installing the caliper.
