Rear brake caliper banjo bolt | 17.0-20.0 Nm | 13-14 ft·lbs |
1. See Figure 3-31. Install rear brake caliper.
- a. Align rear caliper (1).
- b. Install caliper mounting screws (5). Tighten to 20.0-24.0 Nm (15-17 ft·lbs).

Clean and inspect
Use denatured alcohol to clean brake system components. Do not use mineral-based solvents (such as gasoline or paint thinner), which will deteriorate rubber parts even after assembly. Deterioration of these components can cause brake failure, which could result in death or serious injury.
1. Remove rear brake pads. See Inspect brakes.
2. Clean all parts thoroughly.
3. Inspect and lubricate caliper pins.
- a. Inspect rubber boots for damage. Replace as necessary.
- b. Inspect pins and bushings for wear or corrosion. Replace as necessary.
- c. Lubricate pins and bushings with DOW CORNING MOLY 44 BRAKE PIN GREASE.
