INSTALLATION - FRONT DISC BRAKE SHOES
(DISC/DISC BRAKES)
(1) Begin on one side of the vehicle or the other.
(2) Completely retract the caliper piston back into
its bore in the brake caliper (This is required for cal-
iper installation on the brake rotor with new brake
shoes installed).
(3) If applied, remove the protective paper from
the noise suppression gasket on the rear of both the
inner and outer brake shoe assemblies.
(4) Install the new inboard brake shoe into the cal-
iper piston by firmly pressing its retaining clip into
the piston bore. Be sure the inboard brake shoe is
positioned squarely against the face of the caliper
piston.
(5) Lubricate both adapter abutments where the
shoes slide with a small amount of MopartMultipur-
pose Lubricant, or equivalent.
(6) Slide the new outboard brake shoe into the cal-
iper adapter up against the outside of the brake
rotor.
CAUTION: Use care when installing the caliper
assembly onto the steering knuckle, so the caliper
guide pin bushings do not get damaged by the
steering knuckle bosses.
(7) Carefully position the brake caliper over the
brake rotor and adapter.
(8) Install the caliper guide pin bolts and tighten
to a torque of 35 N´m (26 ft. lbs.).Extreme caution
should be taken not to cross thread the caliper
guide pin bolts.

of the caliper. Start the clip into the holes on the cal-
iper, then stretch the clip legs past the abutments on
the caliper adapter.
(10) Install the wheel and tire assembly. Tighten
the wheel mounting nuts in proper sequence until all
nuts are torqued to half specification, then repeat the
tightening sequence to the full specified torque of 135
N´m (100 ft. lbs.).
(11) Repeat the above procedure on other side of
the vehicle.
(12) Lower vehicle.
(13) Pump the brake pedal several times. This will
set the shoes to the brake rotor.
(14) Check and adjust brake fluid level as neces-
sary.(15) Road test the vehicle and make several stops
to wear off any foreign material on the brakes and to
seat the brake shoes.

INSPECTION - DISC BRAKE SHOES
Visually inspect brake shoes (pads) for uneven lin-
ing wear. Also inspect for excessive lining deteriora-
tion. Check the clearance between the tips of the
wear indicators on the shoes (if equipped) and the
brake rotors.
If a visual inspection does not adequately deter-
mine the condition of the lining, a physical check will
be necessary. To check the amount of lining wear,
remove the disc brake shoes from the calipers.
Measure each brake shoe. The combined brake
shoe and its lining material thickness should be mea-
sured at its thinnest point.
²For front disc brake shoes, when a set of brake
shoes are worn to a thickness of approximately 7.95
mm (5/16 inch), they should be replaced.
²For rear disc brake shoes, when a set of brake
shoes are worn to a thickness of approximately 7.0
mm (9/32 inch), they should be replaced.
Replacebothdisc brake shoes (inboard and out-
board) on each caliper. It is necessary to replace the
shoes on the opposite side of the vehicle as well as
the shoes failing inspection.
If the brake shoe assemblies do not require
replacement, be sure to reinstall the brake shoes in
the original position they were remove from.
INSTALLATION - REAR DISC BRAKE SHOES
(1) Completely retract caliper piston back into pis-
ton bore of caliper assembly.
(2) Lubricate both adapter abutments where the
shoes contact with a liberal amount of MopartMul-
tipurpose Lubricant, or equivalent.
(3) If removed, install the brake rotor on the hub,
making sure it is squarely seated on the face of the
hub.
(4) Install the inboard brake shoe into the caliper
piston by firmly pressing it into the piston bore using
your thumbs. Be sure inboard brake shoe is posi-
tioned squarely against the face of the caliper piston.
(5) Install the outboard brake shoe on the disc
brake caliper. Be sure the outboard shoe is positioned
squarely against the outboard fingers of the caliper.
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.
(6) Carefully lower caliper and brake shoes over
rotor and onto adapter, reversing the removal proce-
dure (Fig. 16).
CAUTION: When installing the caliper guide pin
bolts extreme caution should be taken not to
crossthread the guide pin bolts.
