Assembly

WARNING:
^ Never use an air hose or dry brush to clean brake assemblies.
^ Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner to avoid breathing brake dust.
^ Contaminated brake discs or pads reduce stopping ability.
^ When reusing the pads, always reinstall the brake pads the their original positions to prevent loss of braking efficiency.

CAUTION:
^ Do not spill brake fluid on the car; it may damage the paint: if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off immediately with water.
^ To prevent spills, cover the hose joints with rags or shop towels.
^ Clean all parts in brake fluid and air dry; blow out all passages with compressed air.
^ Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of dust and other foreign particles.
^ Replace parts with new ones whenever specified to do so.
^ Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter is allowed to contaminate the brake fluid.
^ Do not mix different brands of brake fluid as they may not be compatible.
^ Do not reuse the drained fluid. Use only clean DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid.

NOTE:
^ Coat piston, piston seal, and caliper bore with clean brake fluid.
^ Replace all rubber parts with new ones whenever disassembled.

1. Clean the piston and caliper bore with brake fluid and inspect for wear or damage.
2. Coat a new piston seal with brake cylinder grease (P/N: O8733-BO2OE) or equivalent rubber grease and install it in the cylinder groove.

Piston Boot Installation:

3. Apply silicone grease to the sealing lips and inside of a new piston boot, install the boot in the cylinder groove and secure it with the boot clip.

CAUTION: Be careful not to damage the caliper cylinder wall.

Caliper Piston Installation:

4. Lubricate the caliper cylinder and piston with brake fluid, then install the piston in the cylinder with the dished end facing in.
5. Apply silicone grease to the sliding surface of sleeve B and the inside of new pin and sleeve boots.

Installation Of Sleeve, Pin Boots, And Sleeve B:

6. Install the new sleeve and pin boots and sleeve B on the caliper.

NOTE: Be sure to install the boots into the grooves in the caliper and sleeve B properly.

7. Apply silicone grease to the sliding surface of sleeve A and the inside of a new pin boot.
8. Install the pin boot into the groove in the sleeve A.

Brake Pad And Pad Retainer Inspection:

9. Make sure that the brake pad retainers and brake pads are in their original positions.

Caliper Installation:

10. Install the caliper onto sleeve A, pivot it down into position.

NOTE: Install the pin boot into the groove in the caliper.

11. Connect the brake hose to the caliper with new sealing washers and tighten the banjo bolt.

Torque Caliper Bolt:

12. Tighten the caliper bolt B.
13. Fill the brake reservoir up and bleed the brake system, refer to Brakes and Traction Control/Brakes/Service and Repair.
14. After installation, check for leaks at hose and line joints or connection, and retighten if necessary.
