Check the caliper inner space for fluid leaks before replacing any rusty bolts or sleeves that should not have their corrosion polished off. Insert the retainer spring onto the inner Brake Pad before installing all brake pads for both rear wheel drive and all wheel drive. To install the outboard Brake Pad of rwd calipers properly, squeeze the pad ears towards the caliper while making sure the brake hose stays straight and untwisted during installation. Test the brakes by pressing the pedal repeatedly before moving the vehicle then verify the brake fluid amount in the master cylinder. Finally, install the caliper.
