Shoe & Lining Installation

Fig. 11 Installing retainer spring on inboard shoe:

Fig. 13 Positioning hammer to clinch brake pad tabs:

1. Lubricate new bushings with suitable grease, install bushings in caliper grooves, then insert sleeves through bushings.
2. Install retaining spring onto inboard shoe and lining assembly, Fig. 11, if equipped, then install inboard shoe into caliper housing.
3. Install outboard shoe and lining assembly into caliper housing ensuring wear sensor is properly positioned. On models with spring mount shoe (series 3264), ensure buttons on shoe are properly engaged in holes in caliper.
4. Install caliper assembly as outlined.
5. On models with tab mount outer shoe (except series 3264), clinch outboard shoe to brake caliper as follows:
a. Apply brakes several times to ensure caliper piston is extended and shoes are fully seated.
b. Wedge a large flat blade screwdriver between outboard shoe flange and hat section of rotor, Fig. 12.
c. Hold outer pad against caliper with suitable clamp or by applying moderate pressure on brake pedal.
d. Position a ball peen hammer on outboard shoe tab, Fig. 13, then using a larger brass hammer, lightly tap the ball peen hammer to bend the outboard shoe tab. Tabs must be bent around casting to approximately 45 degrees.
e. After both tabs have been bent pressure should be released and outboard shoe should be locked into position. If shoe is loose, repeat steps a. through d. If an outboard shoe is removed from the caliper, or the tabs unclinched for any reason, then it will be necessary to replace the shoe and lining assemblies. Do not re-clinch outboard shoe locking tabs after having removed shoe from caliper.
