knuckle and/or the caliper. Refer to Figures 2 and 3.

Coat all areas of the knuckle and/or caliper where the brake pad shoes contact using a high temperature silicone grease, P/N 18010909 or
equivalent. Refer to Figure 4.
5.
Install the brake pads and caliper on the vehicle.
6.
Repeat Steps 1 - 5 on the other caliper brake assembly. If one caliper needs service, do both sides.
7.
Reinstall wheels and tires on the vehicle.
Important:
Evenly torque wheel nuts to specification using a torque wrench or a torque limiting socket/stick.
A torque wrench or torque stick must be used to insure that wheel nuts are tightened to specification. This should be done in three steps using the
star pattern. First, snug the nuts down by hand. Second, using the star pattern and a torque stick/wrench, tighten the wheel nuts to about half the
final torque. Third, tighten the wheel nuts to specification using the star pattern and a torque stick/wrench. Use the same amount of impact wrench
operating time as would normally be used without a torque stick.
8.
Pump the brake pedal as many times as required to obtain a firm brake pedal.
Caution:
DO NOT move the vehicle until a firm brake pedal is obtained. Failure to obtain a firm brake pedal before moving vehicle may result in
personal injury.
