WARNING
• If at any point in this procedure the hydraulic system is opened, the brakes must be bled after the
correct reinstallation of the brake components. Failure to bleed the brakes could result in decreased
braking performance due to air being trapped in the hydraulic system. Use only DOT 5 brake fluid. See
Bleeding the Hydraulic Brake System on page 6-16.
1. Place and hold the brake pads in the caliper and install the caliper onto its mounting bracket (Figure 6-17,
Page 6-13) . See following NOTE and WARNING.
NOTE: To help prevent noise, a silicone-based brake lubricant may be applied to the surfaces (on the back side of
the brake pads) that contact the caliper. A thin film may also be applied to the slide-pins. Always follow
lubricant manufacturer’s directions.
WARNING
• To reduce the possibility of diminished brake performance or failure, never use petroleum-based
lubricants on brake system components, and ensure lubricant does not contact friction surfaces of
brake pads or rotors.
2. Insert the socket-head slide-pin bolts through the caliper, mounting bracket and brake pads. Thread the slide-pin
bolts into the mounting bracket and tighten to 32 ft-lb (43 N·m)
(Figure 6-16, Page 6-13) .
3. Caliper Only: Secure the brake hose to the caliper with banjo bolt and new copper washers. Tighten to 146 in-lb
(16.5 N·m). See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• The banjo bolts are metric. Use only metric thread replacements.
4. Fill the reservoir of the master cylinder and bleed the hydraulic system. See Bleeding the Hydraulic Brake
System on page 6-16. See following WARNING.
