Wilwood Forged Dynalite 1 Piece Rotor and Hub Front Brake Kits - Manual (Page 5)

•Install the disc brake pads (18) into the caliper (14), with the
friction material facing the rotor (7), and secure in place using
cotter pin (19 ), Photo 7.
•Temporarily install wheel and torque lug nuts to manufacturer’s
specification. Ensure that the wheel rotates freely without any
interference. NOTE: Wheel spacer (20) may be used if needed
to provide additional wheel to caliper clearance.
•NOTE: OEM rubber brake hoses generally cannot be adapted to
Wilwood calipers. The caliper inlet fitting is a 1/8-27 NPT. The
preferred method is to use steel adapter fittings at the caliper,
either straight, 45 or 90 degree and enough steel braided line to
allow for full suspension travel and turning radius, lock to lock.
Carefully route hoses to prevent contact with moving
suspension, brake or wheel components. NOTE: Wilwood hose kits are designed for use in many
different vehicle applications and it is the installer's responsibility to properly route and ensure
adequate clearance and retention for brake hose components. Wilwood offers a brake flex line hose
kit to fit this application, order P/N 220-12296. Hose kits include hoses, fitting, etc., all in one package
for this application.
•NOTE: Specified brake hose kits may not work with all Years, Makes and Models of vehicle that this
brake kit is applicable to, due to possible OEM manufacturing changes during a production vehicle's
life. It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that all fittings and hoses are the correct size and
length, to ensure proper sealing and that they will not be subject to crimping, strain and abrasion from
vibration or interference with suspension components, brake rotor or wheel.
•In absence of specific instructions for brake line routing, the installer must use his best professional judgment on correct routing and
retention of lines to ensure safe operation. Test vehicle brake system per the 'minimum test' procedure stated within this document
before driving. After road testing, inspect for leaks and interference. Initially after install and testing, perform frequent checks of the
vehicle brake system and lines before driving, to confirm that there is no undue wear or interference not apparent from the initial test.
Afterwards, perform periodic inspections for function, leaks and wear in a interval relative to the usage of vehicle.
•It is highly recommended that a Wilwood proportioning valve (P/N 260-8419) be plumbed into the line that feeds both rear wheels.
When installed and adjusted properly, it can reduce the chances of potentially dangerous rear-wheel lock up during hard braking.
Master Cylinder
•This brake kit may be used with the OEM single circuit master cylinder. However, the residual
pressure valve must be removed from inside the master cylinder to prevent unwanted front brake
drag, Photo 8. NOTE: Care must be taken not to damage the master cylinder seals when
reinstalling the piston assembly.
• Bleed the brake system, referring to the additional information and recommendations on page 6 for
proper bleeding instructions. Check system for leaks after bleeding.
• Install the wheel and torque to manufacturer’s specifications. NOTE: Wheel spacer (20) may be
used if needed to provide additional wheel to caliper clearance.
