Check the brake disc for damage and cracks.
lvlake sure that the pad retainers are installed in
their correct positions.
PAD RETAINERS
Apply grease to the points indicated by the arrow in
the following drawing:
NOTE: Use the pad grease included in the pad set
or lMolykote M77 grease, and apply a thin coat of
grease evenly to the designated points.
. Piston end and inner pad contact surface
. Pad and caliper bracket contact surface
. Outer pad shim and outer pad contact surface
. Outer pad shim and caliper body contact surface
lnstall the brake pads and outer pad shim on the
caliper bracket. Install the inner pad with its wear
indicator facing downward.
@iwhen reusing the pads, always reinstall the
brake pads in iheil original posiiions lo prevont

Depress the brake pedal several times to make sure
the brakes work, then test-drive
NOTE: Engagement of the brake may requrre greater
pedal travel immediately after the brake pads have
been replaced as a set. Several light applications of
the brake pedal will restore the normal pedal travel.
Greater than normal pedal travel may damage the
