9. Apply Molykote M77 grease (P/N 08798-9010) to the brake pad side of inner pad shim A, inner pad shim B. both sides of the outer pad shim C,
outer pad shim D the back of the brake pads (E), and to the other areas indicated by the arrows. Wipe excess grease off the shims and the brake
pads. Contaminated brake discs or pads Deduce stopping ability. Keep grease off the brake discs and pads.
10. Install the brake pads and pad shines correctly. Install the brake pad with the Wear indicator (F) on the upper-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.
11. Push in the piston (B) 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.
12. Pivot the caliper (C) down into position. Install the flange bolt (D), and torque it to the specified torque while holding the pin A with a wrench
being careful not to damage the pin boot.
13. Install the brake hose mounting bolts, and tighten them to the specified torque.
14. Press the brake pedal several times to make sure the brakes work, then test-drive the vehicle.
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.
15. After installation, check for leaks at hose and line joints or connections, and retighten if necessary.
16. Reinstall the front wheels.
Replacement: M/T model (4-piston caliper type)
NOTE: Due to the high performance nature of the brake system on M/T model, the rotors and pads may wear faster than on A/T model. Be sure to
inspect the front rotor thickness anytime the front pads are replaced.
1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations. Remove the front wheels. Take care not to scratch the
calipers.
