of the caliper holder bores.

4. Install the caliper holder boots making sure they are
seated properly.
WS096
NOTE: The shorter of the two caliper boots is on the
side of the jam screw.
5. Install the caliper onto the caliper holder.
WS090
6. Making sure the brake fluid does not contact the
brake pads, compress the caliper holder towards the
caliper and install the inner brake pad then the outer
pad.
WS098
7. Install jam screw and tighten to 9 ft-lb.
8. Place the brake caliper assembly into position and
secure with new “patch-lock” cap screws. Tighten
the caliper to 20 ft-lb.
CAUTION
Make sure the seals are properly in place and did not
twist or roll during installation.
CAUTION
If the brake pads become contaminated with the brake
fluid, they must be thoroughly cleaned with brake fluid
cleaning solvent or replaced with new pads. Failure to
do so will result in reduced braking and premature
brake pad failure.
