Push pistons in so that pad is firmly installed and mount cylinder body to torque member.
CAUTION: By pushing in piston, brake fluid returns to master cylinder reservoir tank. Watch the level of the surface of reservoir tank.

- Apply Molykote M-77 grease to pad retainer where brake pad contacts and between pad and shim.
