surface, wash it off immediately with water.
14. Remove the brake caliper piston compressor tool.
15. Apply a thin coat of M-77 assembly paste (P/N 08798-9010) to the pad side of the shims (A), the back of the brake pads (B) and the other areas
indicated by the arrows. Wipe excess assembly paste off the pad shims and the brake pads friction material. Keep grease and assembly paste off
the brake disc and the brake pads. Contaminated brake disc or brake pads reduce stopping ability.
16. Install the brake pads and pad shims correctly. Install the brake pad with the wear indicator (C) on the upper inside. If you are reusing the brake
pads, always reinstall the brake pads in their original positions to prevent a temporary loss of braking efficiency.
17. Pivot the caliper down into position. Install the flange bolt (A), and tighten it to the specified torque.
18. Install the brake hose mounting bolt (B).
19. Clean the mating surface between the brake disc and the inside of the wheel, then install the front wheels.
20. Press the brake pedal several times to make sure the brakes work.
NOTE: Engagement 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.
21. Add brake fluid as needed.
22. After installation, check for leaks at hose and line joints or connections, and retighten if necessary.
Test-drive the vehicle, then check for leaks. See: Hydraulic System/Brake Hose/Line/Testing and Inspection
