this requires a special tool to thread the caliper in

 

Object Number: 105774  Size: SH

  • Retract the brake caliper piston (2) into the brake caliper bore. Use a suitable spanner type wrench and turn the piston clockwise until it bottoms out fully in the brake caliper (Mac® Tools DBC 25 C 2500 MA Disc Brake Caliper Tool Set, or equivalent).
  • Align the indents on the piston face to match the pin on the back of the inboard brake pads.
  • Install the brake pad retainers into the brake caliper bracket.
  • Install the inboard and outboard brake pads into the brake caliper bracket insuring that the pad with the metallic wear sensor is placed on the inboard side of the bracket.
  • Slide the caliper onto the bracket insuring that the bracket guide boots are not damaged.
