Pads, Brake: Installation: SRT8

NOTE:

Installation process is the same for both sides of the vehicle.

NOTE:

Six piston caliper shown in illustration, four piston similar.

NOTE:

On vehicles with the four piston calipers only, it is required to apply the copper paste on the brake pads between the pad and loose stainless shims as well as the side abutments.

  1. Make sure all caliper pistons are fully seated (bottomed) in bores.
  2. If equipped, remove the film from the brake pad double sticky isolator.
  3. Slide the NEW  brake pads into opening in disc brake caliper.
  4. From inboard side, slide upper brake pad support pin (4) through caliper and upper holes in both brake pads (3). Ensure that the small end of support pin is in the hole in outboard half of caliper.
  5. If equipped, install the brake caliper center support bolt (2), and tighten to the proper torque specifications. Refer to TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  6. Install upper end of brake pad spring clip (1) under upper brake pad support pin (4).
  7. Press on lower end of spring clip (1) until it touches brake rotor.
  8. From inboard side, slide lower brake pad support pin (4) through caliper and lower holes in both brake pads (3). Ensure that the small end of support pin is in hole in outboard half of caliper.
  9. Release the spring clip (1) allowing it to engage lower support pin.
  10. From inboard side, seat upper and lower support pins (4) into caliper using pin punch and hammer. Support pins must be driven into caliper until support pin retaining rings are locked into place.
  11. Once support pins are fully installed into caliper, inspect assembled caliper to make sure spring clip (1) is centered in opening of caliper, correctly engaging upper and lower support pins, and is resting against both brake pads (3).
  12. Install the tire and wheel assembly. Refer to INSTALLATION .
  13. Remove the support and lower the vehicle.
  14. Pump brake pedal several times to set pads to caliper and brake rotor.
  15. Check and adjust brake fluid level in reservoir.
    CAUTION:

    When NEW brake pads have been installed, keep in mind that braking effectiveness might be somewhat reduced during the first brake applications following installation.

    NOTE:

    When NEW brake pads are installed, they must be burnished (seated) to the rotor. This must be done to ensure the proper performance of the replacement brake pads.

  16. Road test vehicle making several stops to wear off any foreign material on brakes and to seat brake pad linings. NEW brake pads need to be burnished properly. Refer to PADS, BRAKE, STANDARD PROCEDURE .
