Installation

INSTALLATION
1. Make sure caliper piston is bottomed fully in its caliper bore.
2. Make sure brake pads and pad clips are correctly installed in caliper support.

IMPORTANT: Remove all rust and corrosion from the caliper brackets and the spring clips when installing brake pads. If installing used brake pads, remove all rust and corrosion from the ends of the brake pads and from the notch. Make sure the brake pads move freely in the caliper brackets when the brakes are assembled.

3. Lubricate pin boots with silicone grease.





4. Install lock pin boot into caliper support.





IMPORTANT:
^ Make sure lock pin boot passes all the way through caliper support.
^ Use lock pin as a tool to assist installation.

5. Install guide pin boot onto caliper body.
6. Install caliper body onto caliper support.

NOTICE: Be careful not to damage piston, guide pin, or lock pin boots.

IMPORTANT: Compress pin boots by hand as caliper moves into position.

7. Lubricate straight section (not threads) of lock pin and guide pin with silicone grease.

NOTICE: Make sure guide and lock pin boots are properly aligned prior to pin installation, or boot damage may occur.
