Brake Shoe & Lining Installation


1. Install outboard shoe and lining onto mounting bracket, ensuring insulator on shoe is positioned toward caliper housing.
2. Install inboard shoe and lining. Ensure wear sensor is positioned nearest caliper piston. When properly installed, sensor should be in trailing position when wheel is rotated in forward direction.
3. Pivot caliper into position over shoes and linings. Ensure springs on outboard shoe do not protrude through inspection hole in housing. If protrusion is evident, lift caliper housing and readjust position of outboard shoe and lining.
4. Install new upper guide pin bolt and torque to 26 ft. lbs., then torque lower bolt to 16 ft. lbs.
5. Fill master cylinder to proper level, then pump brake pedal firmly and slowly three times to bring pads into contact with brake rotor.
