BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
SPHERICAL WASHERS
These special washers are used to enable alignment of the brake caliper to the disc. The washers are located on the main
mounting bolts that hold the caliper to its mounting bracket.
NOTE:
One washer is concave and the other is convex; they mate together as shown in the drawing.
There is always a little bit of misalignment in any mounting system of this type; the washers are used to correct this.
With the washers installed as shown, simply snug the mounting bolts (do not fully tighten). Make sure the axle-mounted
brake disc hub is loose on the axle to allow movement. Now press and hold down the brake pedal. This will bring the
calipers and the axle-mounted brake disc into correct alignment with the discs. With the brakes still applied, fully tighten
the mounting bolts and brake hub (see details, page 7-7).
