C8. Press back brake pistons
Press back pistons slowly using adjustable pliers, taking care to avoid damage to dust seals. Ensure that seals are slightly below piston ends to
avoid damage from pad backing plates when caliper is lowered into position.
C9. Install brake pads
Lubricate with light coating (0.1 - 0.2 mm = 0.004 - 0.008 inch) of grease, P/N 1161325-4, applied to backing plates.
Note: Above applies only to Bendix (DBA) pads. Backing plates on Girling pads are provided with anti-squeal coating.
Lower caliper into position and tighten guide sleeve/pin bolt to 34 Nm (25 ft. lbs.).
Note: Use new bolt.
Note: Take care when lowering caliper to avoid puncturing guide pin gaiter, otherwise sliding action may be impaired by entry of water.
Note: Correct torque is extremely important. If torque is too low, joint may work loose. If torque is too high, guide sleeve may be deformed.
Operate brake pedal several times and check fluid level.
Note: Ensure that fluid in master cylinder does not overflow.
Note: Always check for proper caliper sliding function when changing pads.
C10. Refit wheels as per markings
Finger-tighten nuts, then torque diagonally to 85 Nm (63 ft. lbs.).
Test drive car.
Recommend customer to limit hard braking whenever possible during first 500 miles after repair in order to allow the brakes to bed in properly.
