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 (A).
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 and pad shims correctly. Install the pad with the wear indicator (c) on the inside.
If you are reusing the pads, always reinstall the brake pads in their original positions to prevent a momentary loss of braking efficiency.
12. Push in the piston (A) so the caliper will fit over the pads. Make sure the piston boot is in position to prevent damaging it when pivoting the caliper
down.
13. Pivot the caliper down into position. Being careful not to damage the pin boot, install the caliper bolt (B), and torque it to proper specification.
14. Install the brake hose onto the knuckle.
15. Press the brake pedal several times to make sure the brakes work, then road-test.
NOTE: 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.
16. After installation, check for leaks at hose and line joints or connections, and retighten if necessary.
