INSTALLATION
-
PROPERLY LIFT AND SUPPORT THE CAR.
-
REMOVE THE WHEELS.
-
REMOVE BRAKE CALIPERS USING CARE NOT TO DAMAGE BRAKE LINES
-
CLEAN THE INTERNAL WHEEL CARRIER THREADS, MAKING SURE THERE ARE NOT ANY CONTAMINANTS. (USING AN M12-1.5 TAP TO CHASE THE THREADS AND COMPRESSED AIR TO REMOVE ANY DEBRIS IS RECOMMENDED.)
-
A. (FOR #BCSK-62/95) THREAD THE 12MM END OF THE STUD INTO THE WHEEL CARRIER BY HAND! TURN EACH STUD UNTIL IT BOTTOMS OUT. DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF LOCTITE PRE-APPLIED TO THE THREADS IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO USE THE 2 STANDARD HEX NUTS SUPPLIED WITH THE KIT TO AID INSTALLATION. USE STEP 6 TO HELP GET THE STUDS FULLY SEATED INTO THE WHEEL CARRIER.
5B. (FOR #BCSK-72/85/115) APPLY THE SUPPLIED LOCTITE THREAD LOCKER TO THE 12MM END OF THE STUD AND THREAD IT INTO THE WHEEL CARRIER BY HAND! TURN EACH STUD UNTIL IT BOTTOMS OUT. -
USING THE TWO STANDARD M10 HEX NUTS (NOT THE 12-POINT FASTENERS!) INCLUDED IN THE KIT – THREAD THEM ON THE 10MM END OF THE STUD AND TIGHTEN THEM TOGETHER. THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO USE THE TOP NUT TO TORQUE THE STUD IN THE WHEEL CARRIER.
-
TORQUE EACH STUD TO APPROXIMATELY 5 FOOT-POUNDS IN ORDER TO FULLY SEAT THE STUD.
AVOID OVERTIGHTENING STUDS!
- LOOSEN THE 2 STANDARD M10 NUTS AND REMOVE THEM FROM THE STUD.
- REPEAT STEPS 3 THRU 7 FOR EACH STUD BEING INSTALLED.
- ALLOW 20 MINUTES FOR THE THREAD LOCKER TO CURE BEFORE INSTALLING BRAKE CALIPER NUTS.

- POSITION CALIPER IN PLACE AND TORQUE (12PT) NUTS TO 54 FT-LBS USING A 12-POINT M12 SOCKET.
- ONLY USE SUPPLIED NUTS AND WASHERS FOR RETAINING BRAKE CALIPERS. NEVER REPLACE THEM WITH LOWER-GRADE HARDWARE!
