Assembly Instructions (Continued)

•Remove the two pad retaining pins from the caliper (7) by

carefully popping out the pin retaining clips and sliding out the
pins. Insert the brake pads (12) into the caliper, with the friction
material facing the rotor, as shown in Photo 4. Check that the
top of the brake pad is flush with the outside diameter of the
rotor, Photo 5. If not, adjust by adding or subtracting shims (11)
between the caliper and the bracket. After the caliper pad height
is set, secure the brake pads in place with the pad retaining pins
and clips. Torque the caliper lock nuts (8) to 47 ft-lb.

• Temporarily install the wheel and torque the lug nuts to the

manufacturer’s specification. Ensure that the wheel rotates
freely without any interference.

•NOTE: The caliper in this brake kit utilizes a 1/8-27 NPT pipe thread inlet. OEM rubber brake hoses generally cannot be adapted to

Wilwood calipers. Wilwood offers a brake flex line hose kit to fit this application, order P/N 220-9111. Hose kit includes hoses, fittings,
etc., all in one package for this application. 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.

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.

• Bleed the brake system, referring to the additional information and recommendations on page 6 for proper bleeding instructions. Check

system for leaks after bleeding.

•Install the wheel and torque the lug nuts to manufacturer’s specifications.
