8. Apply Molykote M-77 assembly paste (P/N 08798-9010) to both sides of the shim (A), the back of pads (B), and the other areas indicated by the
arrows. Wipe excess M-77 assembly paste off the shims and pads. Contaminated brake discs or pads reduce stopping ability. Keep grease and
paste off the brake discs and pads.
9. Install the brake pads and pad shims correctly. Install the pad with the wear indicator (C) 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. Rotate the caliper piston (A) clockwise into the cylinder, then align the cutout (B) in the piston with the tab (C).on the inner pad by turning the
piston back. Lubricate the boot with rubber grease to avoid twisting the piston boot. If the piston boot is twisted, back it out so it is positioned
properly.
11. Install the caliper. Install the flange bolts (D), and tighten it to the specified torque while holding the pins (E) with a wrench. Be careful not to
damage the pin boot.
12. 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.
13. After installation, check for leaks at hose and line joints or connections, and retighten if necessary.
