7. Clean the caliper bracket (B) thoroughly; remove any rust, and check for grooves and cracks.
Verify that the caliper pins (C) move in and out smoothly. Clean and lube if needed.
8. Inspect the brake disc for runout, thickness, parallelism See: Brake Rotor/Disc/Testing and Inspection/Front Brake Disc Inspection, and check for
damage and cracks.
9. Apply a thin coat of M-77 assembly paste (P/N 08798-9010) to the retainer mating surface of the caliper bracket (indicated by the arrows).
10. Install the upper and lower pad retainers. Wipe off the excess assembly paste from the retainers. Keep the assembly paste away from the brake disc
and the brake pads.
11. Install the brake caliper piston compressor tool (A) on the caliper body (B).
12. Press in the piston with the brake caliper piston compressor tool 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.
NOTE: Be careful when pressing in the piston; brake fluid might overflow from the master cylinder's reservoir. If brake fluid gets on any painted surface,
wash it off immediately with water.
13. Remove the brake caliper piston compressor tool.
14. 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 off the excess assembly paste from the pad shims and brake pads friction material. Keep grease and assembly paste
away from the brake disc and brake pads. Contaminated brake disc or brake pads reduce stopping ability.
