Installing Brake Pads (Hydraulic)
When replacing worn or contaminated pads, replace both pads in the brake caliper
assembly even if both pads do not require replacing. Using one new and one old
brake pad in a caliper assembly may provide poor braking/steering performance.
When replacing brake pads, always use new cotter pins.
1. Slip the new pads into the caliper. Install and bend the cotter pins to secure the new
pads in place. Photo BR-4
Before installing the pads into the caliper, make sure that the brake caliper pistons are
pushed back into the caliper housing as far as possible. This will enure that the new pads
can be spread far enough apart from each other to accommodate the thickness of the
brake disc when the caliper is slipped back into position and remounted to the
transmission.

2. Remount the caliper to the transmission by aligning the access hole in the brake disc
with that of the threaded mounting boss on the transmission. Photo BR-5
LOCTITE the threads of the 2 hex head mounting bolts with blue LOCTITE 242,
and secure the caliper (with the 2 flat washers in place) to the transmission. Do not
forget to install any shims that may have initially been between the caliper and trans-
mission mounting bosses. Torque to specifications.
