Installation
1. Lubricate mounting bracket pins with a light film of
Polaris Premium All Season Grease (
PN 2871423 ), and
install rubber dust boots. Be sure dust boots are fully
seated on caliper bracket and on caliper body.
2. Push mounting bracket as far as possible toward the piston
side of the caliper. Install pads with friction material facing
each other.
3. Screw guide pin (A) through both pads and on to threaded
bracket post. Install pin until it stops against bracket (B).
Pads must slide freely on the pin. The guide pin will be fully
tightened after caliper is installed. Be sure boots (C) are
seated on caliper and on bracket.
4. Install caliper and torque mounting bolts to specification.
5. Torque brake pad guide pin(s) that were loosened or
removed.

Maintain at least 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) of brake fluid in the
reservoir to prevent air from entering the brake system.
