8. Apply Molykote M77 grease or Daikalub 528D grease to the pad side of the outer shims (A), both sides of the inner shim (B),the back of pads (C),
and the other areas indicated by the arrows. Wipe excess grease off the shims and pads. Contaminated brake discs or pads reduce stopping ability.
Keep grease off the brake discs and pads.
9. Install the brake pads and pad shims correctly. Install the pad with the wear indicator (D) 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.
10. 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.
11. Pivot the caliper down into position. Install the flange bolt (B), and torque it to the specified torque while holding the pin (C) with a wrench being
careful not to damage the pin boot.
12. Press the brake pedal several times to make sure the brakes work, then test-drive.
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.
13. After installation, check for leaks at hose and line joints or connections, and retighten if necessary.
