Place a C-clamp around the outer pad and caliper; tighten the C-clamp until the piston is fully compressed in the caliper.
Remove pads
INSTALLATION:
Clean and lubricate the sleeves and bushing with silicone lubricant and install them in the caliper.
Clip the retaining spring onto the inboard pad and install the pad in the caliper.
Install or connect the following:
