SSEMBLIES
Slide the caliper housing off the torque plate where it was placed
temporarily after disassembly. Make sure the piston is pushed all the
way into the caliper housing, as mentioned previously.
Inspect the bores of the torque plate bushings for dirt or corrosion.
Clean or use fine sandpaper to remove corrosion, if necessary. Do the
same for the caliper housing anchor pins.
Lubricate the caliper housing anchor pins with silicon lubricant or with
aerosol graphite spray. As mentioned previously, do
not
use a
petroleum base lubricant.
Slide the pressure plate with its new lining material over the caliper
housing anchor pins, with the pressure plate against the piston. Slide
the caliper housing anchor pins into the torque plate bushings until the
lining on the pressure plate contacts the brake disc.
Position the back plate with its new lining material against the other
side of the disc and thread the two caliper housing bolts with their
washers into the back plate from the opposite side of the caliper
housing. Tighten the bolts to 90 inch-pounds. Safety-wire the bolts
using standard procedures.
