Assembly
CAUTION:- Make sure all parts are clean before reassembly.
- Use only new replacement parts.
- Always use DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-DOT 3 brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of the system.
- Do not allow dirt or other foreign matter to contaminate the brake fluid.
- Avoid spilling brake fluid on painted, plastic or rubber surfaces as it can damage the finish. Wash spilled brake fluid off immediately with clean water.
1. Pack all cavities of the needle bearing with assembly lube.
2. Coat the new cam boot with assembly lube and install in the caliper.
3. Apply assembly lube to the pin contacting area of the cam, and install the cam and lever assembly into the caliper body.
4. Install the return spring.
CAUTION:
- If the cam and lever were separated, be sure to assemble them before installing the cam in the caliper body. Install the lever and spring washer, apply locking agent to the threads, and tighten the parking nut while holding the lever with a vise.
- Avoid damaging the cam boot since it must be installed before the cam.
- When installing the cam, do not allow the cam boot fins to turn outside in.
5. Install the pin in the cam.
6. Install a new O-ring on the sleeve piston.
