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 (7) into the caliper, with the friction
material facing the rotor (2), and secure in place using cotter pin
(8), Photo 6.
•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 (2) 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. 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.
•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.
