Assembly Instructions (Continued)
•Install the o-ring (16) and the dust cap (15) onto the hub (6). Friction created by the o-ring (16) on the dust cap (15) keeps it from
unscrewing on its own.
•NOTE: Please reference the caution statement at the beginning of the assembly instructions. Mount the caliper (17) onto the caliper
bracket (1) by positioning the mounting tabs on the backside of the bracket. Slide bolt (18) through washer (19) from the backside.
Finger tighten. View the rotor (10) through the top opening of the caliper (17). The rotor (10) should be aligned in the center of the caliper
(17). If not, adjust the caliper (17) by using 0.032 inch thick shims (20) placed between the caliper mounting bracket (1) and the caliper
(17). Add as many shim washers (20) as necessary to achieve the correct alignment. NOTE: The end of the bolt must be flush with
or slightly protuding from the head of the clinch nut. See Figure 3. Place spare shims (20) between washer and caliper mounting
ear to achieve the proper mounting fastener configuration. Always use the same amount of shims on both the top and bottom caliper
mounting bolts (18). Finger tighten and recheck alignment. If everything is properly aligned, apply red Loctite® 271 to bracket bolt
threads (2) and torque to 42 ft-lb as well as bracket bolt threads (4) and torque to 42 ft-lb. Then apply red Loctite® 271 to caliper
mounting bolt threads (18) and torque to 40 ft-lb.
•Install the disc brake pads (21) and secure using cotter pin (22).
•Temporarily install wheel and torque lug nuts to manufacturer’s specification. Ensure that the wheel rotates freely without any
interference. NOTE: Wheel spacer (Wilwood P/N 300-11961) MUST be used if any wheel contact surfaces overhang the outside
diameter of the hub face. See warning on page 3.
•Repeat this entire procedure for the other wheel.
•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 lines to prevent contact with moving suspension, brake or wheel
components. 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.
•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.
•In absence of specific instructions for brake line routing, the installer must use his best professional judgment on correct routing and
retention of lines to ensure safe operation. Test vehicle brake system per the 'minimum test' procedure stated within this document
before driving. After road testing, inspect for leaks and interference. Initially after install and testing, perform frequent checks of the
vehicle brake system and lines before driving, to confirm that there is no undue wear or interference not apparent from the initial test.
Afterwards, perform periodic inspections for function, leaks and wear in a interval relative to the usage of vehicle.
• Bleed the brake system. Reference the general information and recommendations on page 6 for proper bleeding instructions.
• Install the wheel and torque to manufacturer’s specifications. NOTE: Wheel spacer (Wilwood P/N 300-11961) MUST be used if any
wheel contact surfaces overhang the outside diameter of the hub face. See warning on page 3.
