Mounting calipers and rotors.
a)
Mount rotors onto axle flanges, temporarily securing with lug nuts to assure retention.
b)
Place caliper assembly over rotor with the bleeder valve on top and bolt to mounting
bracket with 12mm-1 bolts supplied. Rear screw has flanged head. Torque bolts to
50 ft/lbs.
c)
Adjust caliper piston as follows:
1)
Rotate parking brake lever several full strokes (against spring), or turn piston
with spanner wrench, until brake pad to rotor clearance is approximately 1/16".
2)
Use a feeler gage or 1/16" drill for a measuring gage.
8.
Parking brake cables.
a)
Remove parking brake cable from equalizer and lengthen threaded rod by installing
supplied metric to SAE adapter and 5/16"-24 threaded rod. Factory stud on end of
cable is 8mm-1.25 and must be converted to 5/16"-24.
b)
Route parking brake cables under axle (adjust cable coil spring so that cable itself
does not ride on axle). Connect cable end to parking brake lever.
c)
Adjust parking brake cable at equalizer by tightening 5/16"-24 nut until parking brake
levers just begin to leave stops on caliper in released parking brake pedal position.
Lock adjusting nut with second 5/16"-24 nut supplied.
9.
Brake lines.
a)
Screw male end of flex hoses into brass block and torque to 20-30 ft/lbs.
b)
Attach brass banjo fitting with special hollow bolt and two copper washers (one on top,
one on the bottom) to caliper. Torque to 30-40 ft/lbs.
c)
Connect (short )left and right adapter lines between female ends of hoses and axle
junction block.
Before tightening, make sure that the flex hoses are not kinked.
Secure right line to axle housing by opening original line clips and closing gently on
flex line.
10.
Proportioning valve (optional)
a)
The factory installed fixed proportioning valve is incorporated into the rear circuit of the
master cylinder. Our road tests indicate that it is not necessary to remove or disable
this valve. However, should the user feel that rear wheel lock up occurs under some
service conditions, requiring additional control, an adjustable proportioning valve is
available from SSBC.
b)
If a valve is used, install it in the brake line from the master cylinder serving the rear
brakes. The Out port goes to the rear brake side.
c)
When bleeding the system, adjust the valve by turning the knob clockwise until it stops.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN, THIS COULD DAMAGE THE VALVE.
