^ Apply Molykote M77 grease to the pad side of the shim. Wipe excess grease off the shim.
WARNING:
-
When reusing the pads, always reinstall the brake pads in their original positions to prevent loss of braking efficiency.
-
Contaminated brake discs or pads reduce stopping ability. Keep grease off the discs and pads.
NOTE: Install the inner pad with its wear indicator facing downward.
Installing Pads And Shims
^ Install the brake pads and pad shims on the caliper bracket.
^ Rotate the caliper piston clockwise into the cylinder, then align the cutout in the piston with the tab on the inner pad by turning the piston back.
CAUTION: Lubricate the boot with rubber grease to avoid twisting the piston boot. If the piston boot is twisted, back it out so it sits properly.
