9. Clean the caliper thoroughly; remove any rust and check for grooves and cracks.
10. Check the brake disc/drum for damage and cracks.
11. Install the pad retainers.
12. Mount the brake caliper piston compressor (A) on the caliper body (B).
13. Press in the piston with the brake caliper piston compressor so the caliper will fit over the brake pads. Make sure the piston boot is in position to
prevent damaging it when installing the caliper.
NOTE: Be careful when pressing in the piston, brake fluid might overflow from the master cylinder's reservoir.
14. Remove the brake caliper piston compressor.
15. Apply a thin coat of M-77 assembly paste (P/N 08798-9010) to the brake pad side of the shims (A), and the back of the brake pads (B), and the
other areas indicated by the arrows. Wipe excess assembly paste off the pad shims and brake pads. Contaminated brake discs or pads reduce
stopping ability. Keep grease and assembly paste off the discs and pads.
16. Install the brake pads and pad shims on the caliper bracket. Install the inner brake pad with its wear indicator (C) facing downward.
If you are reusing the brake pads, always reinstall the brake pads in their original positions to prevent a momentary loss of braking efficiency.
17. Push in the piston so the caliper will fit over the brake pads. Make sure the piston boot is in position to prevent damaging it when installing the
caliper.
18. Install the brake caliper (A).
