Installation Procedure
- Apply approximately 0.09-0.15 g (0.003-0.005 oz) of anti-seize lubricant to each end of the disc brake pad abutments (1) which contact the brake caliper. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers .
- Inspect the brake caliper pins and brake pad springs for damage or excessive corrosion and replace, if necessary.
- Install the inner brake pad (1).
- Install the outer brake pad (2), noting the location of the brake pad wear sensors.
- Install the brake pad spring (1).
- Carefully drive in the brake caliper pins (1) through the disc brake pads and into the brake caliper.
- Ensure the brake caliper pins are fully seated in the brake caliper.
- Install the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation .
- With the engine OFF, gradually apply the brake pedal to approximately 2/3 of its travel distance.
- Slowly release the brake pedal.
- Wait 15 seconds, then repeat steps 9 and 10 until a firm brake pedal apply is obtained. This will properly seat the brake caliper pistons and brake pads.
- Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir to the proper level. Refer to Master Cylinder Reservoir Filling .
- Burnish the brake pads and rotors. Refer to Brake Pad and Rotor Burnishing .
NOTE:
Do not allow the anti-seize lubricant to contact the disc brake pad friction surfaces.
