Sebring LXI Convertible V6-2.7L VIN R (2002)
INSTALLATION - FRONT DISC BRAKE CALIPER
1. Completely retract the caliper piston back into piston bore of the caliper.
2. Lubricate both caliper adapter abutments where the shoes slide with a sufficient amount of Mopers Dielectric Grease, or equivalent.
NOTE: If shoes are being transferred or newly installed, make note that the inboard brake shoes are stamped L or R for left or right side of the
vehicle. The P-slot or void on piston insulator must be positioned upward when brake caliper is mounted.
CAUTION: Use care when installing the brake caliper assembly onto the adapter, so that the seals on the caliper guide pin bushings do not get
damaged by the adapter bosses.
3. Carefully position the brake caliper (with inboard shoe) over the brake rotor, outboard shoe and adapter.
4. Install the caliper guide pin bolts and tighten to a torque of 35 Nm (26 ft. lbs.). Extreme caution should be taken not to cross thread the caliper
guide pin bolts.
5. Install the caps over the ends of the guide pin bolts.
6. Install the anti-rattle spring on the outboard side of the caliper. Start the clip into the holes on the caliper, then stretch the clip legs past the
abutments on the caliper adapter.
CAUTION: When connecting the brake hose to the caliper, install new brake hose to caliper special washers.
7. Install the brake hose on the caliper. To do this, first place one NEW special fitting washer on each side of the hose fitting, then slide the banjo
bolt through the fitting. Next, thread the banjo bolt into the threaded port on the rear of the brake caliper. Tighten the banjo bolt to a torque of 35
Nm (26 ft. lbs.).
8. Install the wheel and tire assembly. Tighten the wheel mounting stud nuts in proper sequence until all nuts are torqued to half specification, then
repeat the tightening sequence to the full specified torque of 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.).
9. Lower the vehicle.
10. Remove the brake pedal depressor (holding) tool.
11. Bleed the hydraulic brake circuit to the brake caliper.
