When installing new brake pads, caliper piston must be properly retracted. Using Piston Remover rotate piston clockwise until piston is fully seated. Ensure one slot in piston face is positioned so it will engage nib on brake pad. Install brake pads. Install caliper. Ensure brake pads are properly positioned. Clean pinch bolt threads and apply one drop of Threadlock and Sealer
