Removal and Installation

REMOVE OR DISCONNECT
1. Brake Caliper.





2. Outboard shoe and lining. Use screwdriver to disengage buttons on shoe from holes in caliper housing.
3. Inboard shoe and lining.
4. Rotor.

NOTE: When installing a new brake rotor, it is not necessary to refinish the surfaces.

INSTALL OR CONNECT

NOTE: Before installing new shoe and linings, use denatured alcohol to wipe outside surface of boot clean.

1. If linings are being replaced, bottom the caliper piston into caliper bore. Use a C-clamp over caliper housing and tighten clamp slowly to push piston into caliper bore. Take care not to damage piston or piston boot with C-clamp. After bottoming piston, lift inner edge of boot next to piston and press out any trapped air. Boot must lay flat. Make sure convolutions are tucked back into place.





2. Inboard shoe and lining by snapping shoe retaining spring into piston inside diameter. Shoe retainer spring is already staked to the inboard shoe. Shoe must lay flat against piston. After installing shoe and lining, check that boot is not touching the shoe. If there is contact, remove the shoe and lining and re-seat or re-position the boot.





3. Outboard shoe and lining with wear sensor at trailing edge of shoe. During forward wheel rotation, the back of the shoe must lay flat against caliper.
4. Caliper.
5. Apply a firm force three times to the brake pedal to seat the linings.
