7. Install the pad retainers. Wipe excess paste off the retainers. Contaminated brake discs and pads reduce stopping ability. Keep paste off the brake
discs and pads.
8. Apply a thin coat of M-77 paste to both sides of the pad shims (A), the back of the brake pads (B), and the other areas indicated by the arrows.
Wipe excess paste off the shim. Contaminated brake discs and pads reduce stopping ability. Keep paste off the brake discs and pads.
9. Install the brake pads and pad shim correctly. Install the brake pads with the wear indicator (C) on the lower inside. If you are reusing the brake
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 brake 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. Be careful not to damage the pin boots, install the flange bolt (B), and tighten it to the specified torque.
12. Press the brake pedal several times to make sure the brake works.
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. Test-drive the vehicle, then check for leaks.
