Technicians  working  with  the  caliper  installed  on 

vehicle:

  •  Install the boots using the press-in tool (B) with the short 

press-in extension (T3)  for positioning and pressing 

into place - see Figure 43.

  •  Position  a  tappet  assembly  (13)  onto  each  tappet 

bushing.    Using  press-in  tool  (B)  in  a  reversed 

orientation  with  the  press-in  extension  (T3)  towards 

the threaded tube, install each tappet onto its tappet 

bushing - see Figure 45.

Technicians working with the caliper not installed on 

vehicle:

  •  Install the boots using the press-in tool (B) with the 

long press-in extension (T3 + T4)  for positioning and 

pressing into place - see Figure 43.

  •  Position a tappet (13) onto each tappet bushing.  Using 

press-in tool (B) in a reversed orientation with the press-

in extension (T3 + T4) towards the threaded tube, install 

each tappet onto its tappet bushing - see Figure 45.

After assembly, check that the tappet (13) is free to turn 

in both directions.
Note:  When installing the tappet for Bendix

 disc brakes, use the supplemental 

ring (T24), inserted into the tool (T2)  - see Figure 48 - to 

assist the installation, since the caliper’s back plate is too 

thin using only Tool (B) to achieve the correct position.
