Installing Steering Brake Pads (Gremica Calipers)
Vehicles Manufactured prior to Serial No. 21245
NOTE
When replacing brake pads, always use new cotter pins.
NOTE
Before installing new pads, use brake cleaner on rotor and caliper to remove contaminants
and oil.
CAUTION
When replacing worn or contaminated pads, replace both pads in the brake caliper
assembly even if both pads do not require replacing. Using one new and one old brake
pad in a caliper assembly may provide poor braking/steering performance.
1. Slip the new pads into the caliper. Install and bend the cotter pins to secure the new
pads in place. Photo 3
NOTE
Before installing the pads into the caliper, make sure that the brake caliper pistons are
pushed back into the caliper housing as far as possible. This will enure that the new pads
can be spread far enough apart from each other to accommodate the thickness of the brake
disc when the caliper is slipped back into position and remounted to the transmission.
2. Remount the caliper to the transmission by aligning the access hole in the brake disc
with that of the threaded mounting boss on the transmission. LOCTITE the threads
of the 2 socket head mounting bolts with blue LOCTITE 243, and secure the caliper
(with the 2 at washers or lockwashers in place) to the transmission. Torque to speci-
cations.
