Reseating (Bottoming) Caliper Piston
6. The rear caliper piston should be reseated into caliper piston bore, to ease installation of rear brake shoes. Reseat (bottom) caliper piston in the
caliper bore as follows. Assemble a 3/8 drive ratchet handle and 7/16 deep-well socket, then insert Spanner, Special Tool 6366 into deep well
socket. Insert lugs on face of spanner tool, into matching holes in face of caliper piston. A lot of force is required to be exerted against caliper
piston while using spanner tool, to start process of caliper piston retraction.
7. Rotate caliper piston in a clockwise direction until caliper piston is fully seated (bottomed) in the caliper bore. Then remove caliper piston rotating
special tool.
8. Install the brake rotor on the hub/bearing.
9. Install the inboard brake shoe into the caliper by sliding it between the rotor and the caliper.
10. Install outboard brake shoe into caliper by sliding it in between the rotor and the caliper.
WARNING: HOLD ANTI-RATTLE SPRING IN PLACE WHILE INSTALLING BRAKE PAD RETAINING PIN INTO CALIPER
ASSEMBLY. IF ANTI-RATTLE SPRING IS NOT HELD IN PLACE DURING INSTALLATION OF RETAINING PIN,
ANTI-RATTLE SPRING MAY FLY OFF CALIPER CAUSING POSSIBLE INJURY.
11. Install the anti-rattle spring into the brake caliper. Be sure anti-rattle clip is positioned correctly between brake shoes and caliper. Install brake
shoe retaining pin into caliper assembly from the outboard side, until small end of retaining pin is in inboard side of caliper assembly. When
installing retaining pin be sure it passes through loops in anti-rattle spring.
