•NOTE: Please reference the caution statement at the beginning
of the assembly instructions.
Mount the caliper (4) onto the
caliper mounting bracket (1) using bolts (6) and washers (5), as
shown in Figure 1. Initially place two .035” thick shims (7) on
each bolt between the caliper and the bracket, Photo 3.
Temporarily tighten the mounting bolts and view the rotor (3)
through the top opening of the caliper. The rotor should be
centered in the caliper, Photo 4. If not, adjust by adding or
subtracting shims between the bracket and the caliper. Always
use the same amount of shims on each of the two mounting
bolts. NOTE: The end of each bolt must be flush with or slightly
protruding from the head of the clinch nut, as shown in Figure 4.
If necessary place spare shims between washer (6) and caliper
mounting ear to achieve the proper clinch nut engagement. Once
the caliper alignment and clinch nut engagement are correct,
remove the bolts one at a time, apply red Loctite® 271 to bolt
threads, and torque to 40 ft-lb.
•Install the disc brake pads (8) into the caliper, with the friction material facing the rotor (3), and
secure in place using pad clip retainer (9), Photo 5.
•Temporarily install wheel and torque lug nuts to manufacturer’s specification. Ensure that the wheel
rotates freely without any interference.
•NOTE: Clevis and cable kits which attach to the parking brake assembly are not included in the
Wilwood parking brake kit. Wilwood offers a generic style parking brake cable kit, P/N 330-9371
for this application which can be ordered separately from your local Wilwood dealer or by calling
Wilwood customer service at (805) 388-1188.
•Before final installation of the wheel, install three lug nuts, remove the rubber grommet in the bracket
kit assembly (1) and adjust the parking brake shoes outward (using a drum shoe adjustment tool
available at your local auto parts store) while spinning the rotor/hat (3) until a slight drag is felt
against the hat/drum. Replace the rubber grommet when finished.
•NOTE: OEM rubber brake hoses
generally cannot be adapted to Wilwood
calipers. The caliper inlet fitting is a 1/8-27
NPT. The preferred method is to use steel
adapter fittings at the caliper, either
straight, 45 or 90 degree and enough
steel braided line to allow for full
suspension travel and turning radius, lock
to lock. Carefully route hoses to
prevent
contact
with
moving
suspension,
brake
or
wheel
components. NOTE: Wilwood hose kits
are designed for use in many different
vehicle applications and it is the installer's
responsibility to properly route and ensure adequate clearance and retention for brake hose components. Wilwood offers universal
brake flex line hose kits, order P/N 220-7056 for the 14 inch length, P/N 220-7699 for the 16 inch length, or P/N 220-8307 for the 18
inch length. Hose kits include hoses, fitting, etc., all in one package for this application.
•NOTE: Specified brake hose kits may not work with all Years, Makes and Models of vehicle that this brake kit is applicable to, due to
possible OEM manufacturing changes during a production vehicle's life. It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that all fittings and
hoses are the correct size and length, to ensure proper sealing and that they will not be subject to crimping, strain and abrasion from
vibration or interference with suspension components, brake rotor or wheel.
