(15) between the caliper and the bracket. After the caliper pad
height is set, torque the caliper lock nuts (11) to 30 ft-lb. Secure
the brake pads in place with the center bridge pad retainer tube,
bolt, and locknut. The locknut should be snug without play in the
bolt or tube. Be cautious not to over tighten.
• Temporarily install the wheel and torque the lug nuts to the
manufacturer’s specification. Ensure that the wheel rotates
freely without any interference.
•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. Wilwood offers a brake flex line hose
kit to fit this application, order P/N 220-11237. Hose kit includes hoses, fittings, etc., all in one package
for this application. 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.
•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.
• 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 the lug nuts to manufacturer’s specifications.
