INSTALLATION
NOTE: Step 1 below is only required when install-
ing the disc brake caliper after new brake shoes
have been installed.
(1) Completely retract caliper piston back into pis-
ton bore of caliper assembly.
(2) Lubricate both adapter abutments with a lib-
eral amount of Mopart Multipurpose Lubricant, or
equivalent.
(3) Install the rear rotor on the hub, making sure
it is squarely seated on the face of the hub (Fig. 62).
CAUTION: Use care when installing the caliper
assembly onto the adapter, so the caliper guide pin
bushings do not get damaged by the mounting
bosses.
(4) Carefully lower caliper and brake shoes over
rotor and onto the adapter using the reverse proce-
dure for removal (Fig. 60).
CAUTION: When installing guide pin bolts extreme
caution should be taken not to crossthread the cal-
iper guide pin bolts.
(5) Install the caliper guide pin bolts. Tighten the
guide pin bolts to a torque of 22 N·m (192 in. lbs.).
(6) Install the wheel and tire assembly.
(7) Tighten the wheel mounting stud nuts in
proper sequence until all nuts are torqued to half
specification. Then repeat the tightening sequence to
the full specified torque of 129 N·m (95 ft. lbs.).
(8) Remove jackstands or lower hoist.
CAUTION: Before moving vehicle, pump the brake
pedal several times to insure the vehicle has a firm
brake pedal to adequately stop vehicle.
(9) Road test the vehicle and make several stops to
wear off any foreign material on the brakes and to
seat the brake shoe linings.
