Assembly Instructions (Continued)
•Install the grease seal (9) by pressing into the backside of the
hub (7), flush with the end of the hub, Photo 3.
•Orient the rotor (11) and the rotor adapter (10) as shown in
Figure 1 and Photo 4. Attach the rotor to the adapter using bolts
(12). Using an alternating sequence, apply red Loctite® 271 to
the threads, and torque to 25 ft-lb.
•Mount the adapter/rotor assembly (10/11) to the hub (7) using
bolts (13), as shown in Figure 1 and Photo 5. Using an
alternating sequence, apply red Loctite® 271 to the threads, and
torque to 55 ft-lb.
•Pack the small outer bearing cone (14) with high temperature
disc brake bearing grease and install into hub (7). Slide the
hub/rotor assembly onto the spindle. Secure using spindle
washer (15) and OEM spindle nut, Photo 6. Adjust bearings by
tightening the wheel bearing nut to 60 in-lbs. while turning the
hub/rotor assembly (10/11). Install saved OEM nut lock (if any)
on the wheel bearing nut with one pair of slots in-line with
(covering) the cotter pin hole. Back off the adjusting nut lock
assembly (or castle nut) one slot and install a new cotter pin (not
supplied). The resulting adjustment should be zero (no
pre-load to 0.003 inch end play.
•Screw dust cap (17) into hub (7), Photo 7. Friction created by
the o-ring (16) on the dust cap keeps it from unscrewing.
NOTE: The O.D. of the existing OEM spindle washer may be
larger than the I.D. of the dust cap not allowing it to seat against
the hub face. Therefore, use the spindle washer (15) supplied
with the kit instead of the OEM washer.
•NOTE: Please reference the caution statement at the beginning
of the assembly instructions. Mount the caliper (18) onto the
caliper mounting bracket (1) using bolts (21) and washers (20),
as shown in Figure 1. Initially place two .035” thick shims (19) on
each bolt between the caliper and the bracket, Photo 8.
Temporarily tighten the mounting bolts and view the rotor (11)
through the top opening of the caliper. The rotor should be
centered in the caliper, Photo 9. If not, adjust by adding or
subtracting shims between the bracket and the caliper. Always
use the same amount of shims on each of the two mounting
bolts. NOTE: The end of each bolt must be flush with or slightly
protruding from the head of the clinch nut, as shown in Figure 3.
If necessary place spare shims between washer (20) and caliper
mounting ear to achieve the proper clinch nut engagement.
Once the caliper alignment and clinch nut engagement are
correct, remove the bolts one at a time, apply red Loctite® 271 to
bolt threads, and torque to 40 ft-lb.
•Install the disc brake pads (22) into the caliper, with the friction
material facing the rotor (11), and secure in place using cotter pin
(23), Photo 10.
