SERVICE INFORMATION

When replacing the rear disc brake pad, the caliper piston must be pushed back and rotated at the same time. It is not possible to perform this operation by hand, due to system pressures and restricted pad movement. A new special tool (J-37617) is now available from Kent-Moore to retract the rear disc brake piston into the caliper when replacing the rear disc brake pad.
The procedure for rear disc brake pad assembly is printed in this Service Bulletin. This procedure should be added to the following Workshop Manuals:
