5. Place caliper over rotor and mounting plate. A bleeder valve must be in the up
position (see above). Check both calipers for this position. Some calipers have
two valves others have only one.
6. Apply a coating of Loctite
®
to threads on the mounting plate. Insert slider pins
through backside of rotor into mounting plate. Use a 7/16” hex socket and tighten
both pins to 40 ft. lbs. Check for binding, make sure rotor spins freely.
NOTE: Slider pins have a lock-thread coating. If pins do not have Loctite
®
or if the pins
are removed after step 6, the threads must be cleaned and a new coat of “permanent”
Loctite
®
must be applied. Clean and apply Loctite
®
to threads on the mounting plate. Be
careful not to get Loctite
®
on slider pins or bushings.
7. Connect brakes lines and bleed brakes before using.
IMPORTANT:
When bleeding calipers, always use the top most bleeder valve to allow air to
escape from the caliper piston.
Always bleed through the upper
most bleeder valve.
