Installation instructions
- Mount the rotor on the wheel using 3/8” studs and nuts supplied with the wheel. Torque to approximately 35 ft-lbs.
- Disassemble caliper by removing 3/8” caliper bolts (2) and the caliper bridge bolt (4). The slide pins (15) should remain attached to the bracket.
- Attach the caliper mounting bracket (20,21) to the strut body using 3/8”-24 bolts (28), 3/8” washer (27) and jet nut (26). Torque to 35 ft-lbs.
- Follow the Ultra Strut instructions to assemble the wheel onto the strut body.
- The caliper now must be assembled onto the bracket. Using Figure 2 to assist you in making sure it is properly assembled. Install the inboard half of the caliper (11) along with the “hotdog” bracket (17) onto the slide pin (15). Insert one brake pad (19), and also insert the caliper bridge bolt (4), washer (1), and tube (3).
- Slide the outboard “hotdog bracket” (18) over the slide pins.
- Feed the outboard half of the caliper (10)either through the outside of the wheel or over the rotor.
- Line up the outboard caliper half and brake pad and loosely secure with the caliper bridge bolt.
- Re-install the 3/8” caliper bolts (2), making sure to use a washer (5) under the heads of the bolts. Torque 3/8” bolts to 30 ft-lbs and bridge bolt to 8-10 ft-lbs.
- Connect the hydraulic lines to the calipers. Calipers are tapped to 1/8”-27 NPT and supplied with –3AN fittings. Use proper adapters to connect them to existing lines or use new –3AN braided steel line (Teflon lines). Bleed calipers with DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 brake fluid ONLY.
- A proper break in procedure is required to avoid brake fade and uneven rotor deposits from the pads. It consists of 8-10 brake applications increasing in harshness while allowing the brakes to cool slightly in between; do not keep the brakes applied between stops. After the last stop the brakes should be allowed to cool completely.
Note : After the initial installation of this kit, ensure that there is adequate clearance between all braking and chassis components by turning the wheels all the way left to right and moving them all the way up and down throughout the length of the wheel (suspension) travel. Additionally, make sure that the brake lines are not interfering with the wheel travel, or subject to binding or kinking. Operate the vehicle in a cautious manner until you determine that the brakes are functioning properly. Routinely check and re-torque all bolts.
