More from the manual:
(1) Completely retract caliper piston back into piston bore of the caliper.
(2) If removed, install the brake rotor on the hub, making sure it is squarely seated on the face of the hub.
CAUTION: Use care when installing the caliper assembly onto the adapter, so the caliper guide pin bushings do not get damaged by the mounting bosses.
(3) Carefully lower caliper and brake shoes over rotor and onto the adapter using the reverse proce- dure for removal (Fig. 46).
CAUTION: When installing guide pin bolts extreme caution should be taken not to cross-thread the cal- iper guide pin bolts.
(4) Install the caliper guide pin bolts. Tighten the guide pin bolts to a torque of 35 N·m (26 ft. lbs.).
CAUTION: When connecting the brake hose to the caliper, install new brake hose to caliper special washers.
(5) Install the brake hose on the caliper. To do this, first place one NEW special copper washer on each side of the hose fitting, then slide the banjo bolt through the fitting. Next, thread the banjo bolt into the threaded port on the rear of the brake caliper. Tighten the banjo bolt to a torque of 47 N·m (35 ft. lbs.).
(6) Install the wheel and tire assembly.
(7) Tighten the wheel mounting stud nuts in
proper sequence until all nuts are torqued to half specification. Then repeat the tightening sequence to the full specified torque of 135 N·m (100 ft. lbs.).
