When installing new brake pads, caliper piston must be properly retracted. Using Piston Remover (T87P-2588-A), rotate piston clockwise until piston is fully seated. 2.Ensure one of slots in piston face is positioned so it will engage nib on brake pad. See Fig. 4 . Install brake pads, anti-rattle springs and brake caliper. 3.Ensure brake pads are properly positioned.
