ASSEMBLING/INSTALLING

1. Install new seals into the brake caliper housing and

apply a liberal amount of DOT 4 brake fluid to the

cylinder bore of the housing, seals, and brake piston.

PR715

PR717A

2. Press the piston into the caliper housing using hand

pressure only. Completely seat the piston; then wipe

off any excessive brake fluid.

PR711A

PR712

3. Apply high-temperature silicone grease (supplied

with the O-ring kit) to the inside of the caliper holder

bores and O-rings; then install the four O-rings into

the caliper.

PR719C

4. Install the caliper onto the caliper holder making sure

the caliper and holder are correctly oriented.



NOTE: It is very important to apply silicone grease

to the O-rings and caliper bores prior to assembly.

PR239C

5. Making sure brake fluid does not contact the brake

pads, compress the caliper holder toward the caliper

and install the inner brake pad; then install the outer

pad.

CAUTION

Make sure the seals are properly in place and did not
twist or roll during installation.

CAUTION

If brake pads become contaminated with brake fluid, they
must be thoroughly cleaned with brake cleaning solvent
or replaced with new pads. Failure to do so will result in
reduced braking and premature brake pad failure.
