Front/Rear - SRT8

INSTALLATION

NOTE: Perform STEP 1 through STEP 10 on each side of vehicle to complete pad set installation before proceeding with STEP 11.

1. Make sure all caliper pistons are fully seated (bottomed) in bores.




2. Slide NEW inboard (2) and outboard brake pads into opening (1) in disc brake caliper. If installing rear brake pads, make sure beveled end of each pad lining is directed against the direction the rotor is rotating in when vehicle is moving forward, in other words, the rear pads need to have beveled end facing upward.




3. From inboard side, slide upper brake pad support pin (2) through caliper (3) and upper holes in both brake pads (1). Ensure that small end of support pin is in hole (4) in outboard half of caliper.




4. Install upper end of brake pad spring clip (2) under upper brake pad support pin (1).




5. Press on lower end of spring clip (5) until it touches brake rotor.
6. Slide lower brake pad support pin (2) through caliper (1) and lower holes in both brake pads (3) in the same manner the upper pin was installed. Ensure small end of support pin is in hole (4) in outboard half of caliper.
7. Release the spring clip allowing it to engage lower support pin.




8. From inboard side, seat upper and lower support pins (4) into caliper (3) using pin punch (1) and hammer (2). Support pins must be driven into caliper until support pin retaining rings are locked into place.




9. Once support pins are fully installed into caliper, inspect assembled caliper to make sure spring clip (2) is centered in opening (1) of caliper, correctly engaging upper and lower support pins, and is resting against both brake pads (3).




10. Install tire and wheel assembly (1). Tighten wheel mounting nuts (3) to 150 Nm (110 ft. lbs.) torque. Tires and Wheels - Installation
11. Lower vehicle.
12. Pump brake pedal several times to set pads to caliper and brake rotor.




13. Check and adjust brake fluid level in reservoir (1). Service and Repair

CAUTION: When NEW brake pads have been installed, keep in mind that braking effectiveness might be somewhat reduced during the first brake applications following installation.

NOTE: When NEW brake pads are installed, they must be burnished (seated) to the rotor. This must be done to ensure the proper performance of the replacement brake pads.

14. Road test vehicle making several stops to wear off any foreign material on brakes and to seat brake pad linings. NEW brake pads need to be burnished properly. Brake Pads - Brake Pad Burnishing
