INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Install the brake rotor.
2. Install a wheel nut to retain the brake rotor.
3. Install the disc brake caliper mounting bracket and the brake caliper as a unit.
4. Install the NEW brake caliper mounting bracket bolts.
- Tighten the brake caliper mounting bracket bolts to 225 Nm (166 ft. lbs.).

CAUTION: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement, or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and system.

5. Remove the wheel nut used to retain the brake rotor.
6. Install the tire and wheel assembly.
- Tighten the wheel nuts in sequence to 140 Nm (100 ft. lbs.).
7. Lower the vehicle.
8. With the engine running, pump the brake pedal slowly and firmly to seat the brake pads.
