7. Clean the caliper bracket (B) thoroughly; remove any rust, and check for grooves and cracks.
8. Inspect the brake disc/drum, and check for damage and cracks (see REAR BRAKE DISC
INSPECTION ).
9. Apply a thin coat of M-77 assembly paste (P/N 08798-9010) to the retainers on their mating surfaces
against the caliper bracket.
10. Install the pad retainers. Wipe excess assembly paste off the retainers. Keep any assembly paste off the
discs and pads.
11. Mount the brake caliper piston compressor tool (A) on the caliper body (B).

12. Press in the piston with the brake caliper piston compressor so the caliper will fit over the brake pads.
Make sure the piston boot is in position to prevent damaging it when installing the caliper.
NOTE:
Be careful when pressing in the piston; brake fluid might overflow from
the master cylinder's reservoir. If brake fluid gets on any painted surface,
wash it off immediately with water.

13. Remove the brake caliper piston compressor tool.
14. Apply a thin coat of M-77 assembly paste (P/N 08798-9010) to the pad side of the shims (A), the back of
the brake pads (B) and the other areas indicated by the arrows. Wipe excess assembly paste off the pad
shims and brake pads. Contaminated brake discs or brake pads reduce stopping ability. Keep grease and
assembly paste off the brake discs and brake pads.

15. Install the brake pads and pad shims correctly. Install the brake pad with the wear indicator (C) on the
bottom inside. If you are reusing the brake pads, always reinstall the brake pads in their original positions
to prevent a momentary loss of braking efficiency.
16. Install the caliper and the flange bolts (A), and tighten them to the specified torque while holding the
caliper pin (B) with a wrench being careful not to damage the pin boots.
