. Position the caliper over the brake disc, lining up
the hole in the caliper ears with the holes in the
mounting bracket.
NOTE: Make sure that the brake hose is not
twisted or kinked.
9. Start the caliper to mounting bracket bolts through
the sleeves in the inboard caliper ears and through
the mounting bracket, making sure that the ends of
the bolts pass under the retaining ears on the
inboard shoe.
10. Push the mounting bolts through to engage the
holes in the outboard shoes and the outboard
caliper ears, threading the mounting bolts into the
mounting bracket.
11. Torque the mounting bolts to 35 ft. lbs.
CAUTION:
See "Caution" on Page 1 of this
section.
12. Pump the brake pedal to seat the linings against the
rotors.
13. Using arc joint pliers, as shown in Figure 59, bend
both upper ears of the outboard shoe until no
radial clearance exists between the shoe and the
caliper housing. Locate pliers on small notch of
caliper housing during clinching procedure.
CAUTION:
If radial clearance exists after
initial clinching, repeat Step 13.
NOTE: Outboard shoes (with formed ears)
are designed for original installation only
and are fitted to the caliper. The shoes should
never be relined or re-conditioned for
reinstallation.
14. Reinstall the front wheel and lower the vehicle.
15. Add brake fluid to the master cylinder reservoir to
bring the fluid level up to within 1/4 inch of the
top.
NOTE: Before moving the vehicle, pump the
brake pedal several times to make sure that it
is firm. Do not move vehicle until a firm
pedal is obtained. Check master cylinder
fluid level again after pumping the brake
pedal.
CALIPER OVERHAUL
CAUTION:
Always use clean brake fluid to
clean any caliper parts. Never use mineral-base
cleaning solvents such as gasoline, kerosene,
carbon-tetrachloride, acetone, paint thinner or
units of like nature as these solvents deteriorate
rubber parts, causing them to become soft and
swollen in an extremely short time.
