ASSEMBLY

NOTE: Perform 1 through 4 for each piston and bore of caliper, then continue with 6. Keep in mind there are two different size pistons, bores, seals and boots used on each caliper.

1. Dip NEW piston seal in fresh clean Mopar(R) brake fluid conforming to DOT 4 specifications. By hand, gently work seal into seal groove in caliper piston bore until the seal is properly seated.









2. Lightly coat inside of NEW dust boot with fresh clean Mopar(R) brake fluid conforming to DOT 4 specifications. Install dust boot (1) on caliper piston (3). Be sure dust boot is completely seated in retaining groove (2) of caliper piston.

CAUTION: When installing piston, force must be applied to the piston uniformly to avoid cocking and binding the piston in the bore.

3. Squarely position piston into top portion of piston bore. Using finger pressure, evenly apply pressure to top of piston, pressing it into bore until it is past piston seal, bottomed in bore.




4. Using finger pressure, press outer ring of dust boot (2) into retaining groove surrounding caliper bore until flush with caliper (3) machined surface.

5. Repeat 1 through 4 for each piston and bore of caliper.
6. Install bleeder screws in top of caliper.









7. Install transfer brake fluid tube (2) between inboard and outboard caliper halves. Tighten tube nuts (1, 2) to 17 Nm (145 in. lbs.).

8. Install brake pads in caliper. Brake Pads - Installation.
9. Install caliper on vehicle. Disc Brake Caliper - Installation
