Installation

NOTE: It may be necessary to remove fluid to put in new linings as fluid is pushed back into the master cylinder.


1. Slowly and carefully push piston back into bore until it is bottomed. Watch for possible reservoir overflow.

2. Slide new outboard shoe and lining assembly in recess of caliper after removing paper from noise suppression gasket.

Fig 12 Attaching Shoe To Caliper Fingers With C-clamp:

NOTE: No free play between brake shoe flanges and caliper fingers should exist (which might cause brake shoe rattle).
- If free play is evident by vertical shoe movement after installation, remove shoe from caliper and bend flanges to create slight interference fit to eliminate all vertical free play when shoe is installed.
- Install shoe after above modification, if necessary, by snapping shoe into place with fingers or with light "C" clamp, protect new lining from damage or contamination by using old pads over new lining and across caliper fingers.

Fig 8 Removing Or Installing Shoe:

3. Remove paper from noise suppression gasket and then position inboard shoe in position on adaptor with shoe "flanges" in the adaptor "ways".

4. Slowly slide caliper assembly into position in adaptor and over disc. Align caliper on machined ways of adaptor.

CAUTION: Be careful not to pull the dust boot from its groove as the piston and boot slide over the inboard shoe.

5. Install anti-rattle springs and retaining clips and torque retaining screws to 200 in lb.

NOTE: The inboard shoe anti-rattle spring must always be installed on top of the retainer spring plate.

6. Pump brake pedal several times until a firm pedal has been obtained.
7. Check and refill master cylinder reservoirs (if necessary) with DOT 3 brake fluid as required.

NOTE: It should not be necessary to bleed the system after shoe and lining removal and installation. However, if a firm pedal cannot be obtained bleed the brake system.

8. Install wheel and tire assemblies and wheel covers.
9. Remove jack stands or lower hoist.
