Procedure

Installation

  1. Step 1

    The caliper mount bracket (1) should initially be installed with clean, dry threads on the mounting bolts. Orient the bracket, as shown in Figure 1 and Photo 1, and install using bolts (2) and washers (3). Initially place one .033" thick shim (4) on each bolt between the bracket and upright, Figure 1. Temporarily tighten the mounting bolts. Inspect for interference from casting irregularities, machining ridges, burrs, etc. Later, after the caliper alignment has been checked, the mount bolts will be secured using red Loctite 271. Disconnect the steering arm for removal of stock OEM caliper bolt and installation of Wilwood bracket bolt (Photo 1).

    Caution

    NOTE: The bracket must fit squarely against the mount bosses on the upright.

    Caution

    The bracket must fit squarely against the mount bosses on the upright.

  2. Step 2

    Position the rotor (5) onto the hat (6), making sure the rotor lugs fit into the recesses of the hat, as shown in Photo 2.

  3. Step 3

    Secure rotor to the hat using the snap ring (7) by installing the ring into the groove in the hat, as shown in Photos 3 and 4. Carefully inspect snap ring to ensure complete engagement in the groove.

  4. Step 4

    Slide the hat/rotor assembly onto the axle hub. Install three lug nuts to keep the hat/rotor assembly in place while continuing with the installation, Photo 5.

    Caution

    NOTE: The hat must fit flush against the axle hub flange or excessive rotor run out may result.

    Caution

    The hat must fit flush against the axle hub flange or excessive rotor run out may result.

  5. Step 5

    Initially place one .035" thick shim (8) on each stud (9) between the caliper and the bracket (1), as shown in Figure 1 and Photo 6. Mount the caliper (10) onto the bracket (1) using lock nuts (11) and washers (12), Figure 1. Temporarily tighten the lock nuts. View the rotor through the top opening of the caliper. The rotor should be centered in the caliper, Photo 7. If not, adjust by adding or subtracting shims (4) between the bracket and the upright. Always use the same amount of shims on each of the two mounting bolts. Once the caliper alignment is correct, remove the bracket mounting bolts (2) one at a time, apply red Loctite 271 to the threads, and torque to value shown in Figure 1. Caliper mount bracket bolts (Item 2): apply red Loctite 271 and torque to 60 ft-lbs.

  6. Step 6

    Remove the pad retainer clip from the caliper (10). Insert the brake pads (13) into the caliper with the friction material facing the rotor, as shown in Photo 8.

  7. Step 7

    Check that the top of the brake pad is flush with the outside diameter of the rotor, Photo 9. If not, adjust by adding or subtracting shims (8) between the caliper and the bracket. After the caliper pad height is set, torque the caliper lock nuts (11) to value shown in Figure 1. Reinstall the pad retainer bolt, tube, and clip, Photo 10. Caliper lock nuts (Item 11): torque to 30 ft-lbs.

  8. Step 8

    Temporarily install the wheel and torque the lug nuts to the manufacturer's specification. Ensure that the wheel rotates freely without any interference. Remove wheel for next step.

    Note

    NOTE: With the installation of after market disc brakes, the wheel track may change depending on the application. Check your wheel offset before final assembly.

    Caution

    The caliper in this brake kit utilizes a 10mm x 1.25 thread inlet, NOT the same as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) caliper thread inlet (10mm x 1.00). The new banjo bolt supplied with this kit must be used.

  9. Step 9

    Attach brake line to caliper. Connect OEM brake line to caliper using banjo bolt (14) and crush washers (15). Do not use lubricant or thread sealant on banjo bolt (14). Torque to minimum value shown in Figure 1. Check for leakage, increasing torque only to stop leakage without exceeding maximum specification. Replace crush washers and banjo bolt whenever reassembly is required. Ensure hoses are routed to prevent contact with moving suspension, brake or wheel components. Banjo bolt / axle set: torque 96-120 in-lbs, do not exceed 144 in-lbs. DO NOT REUSE STOCK BANJO BOLT.

    Warning

    CAUTION: 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. It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that all fittings and hoses are the correct size and length, properly seated, and that they will not be subject to crimping, strain and abrasion from vibration or interference with suspension components, brake rotor or wheel.

    Warning

    Ensure hoses are routed to prevent contact with moving suspension, brake or wheel components.

    Warning

    DO NOT REUSE STOCK BANJO BOLT (regarding the 96-120 in-lbs axle set / banjo bolt callout in Figure 1).

It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that all fittings and hoses are the correct size and length, properly seated, and that they will not be subject to crimping, strain and abrasion from vibration or interference with suspension components, brake rotor or wheel.

  10. Step 10

    Bleed the brake system, referring to the 'Additional Information and Recommendations' for proper bleeding instructions. Check system for leaks after bleeding.

    Caution

    NOTE: NEVER allow the contact surfaces of the pads or rotors to be contaminated with brake fluid. Always use a catch bottle with a hose to prevent fluid spill during all brake bleeding procedures.

  11. Step 11

    Reconnect the steering arm to upright and torque to manufacturer's specifications.

  12. Step 12

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

    Warning

    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 an interval relative to the usage of vehicle.

  13. Step 13

    Bed-in the brake pads per the procedure.

When you’re done

After installation

Warning
  • Racing equipment and brakes must be maintained and should be checked regularly for fatigue, damage, and wear.
  • WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE ANY VEHICLE ON UNTESTED BRAKES! SEE MINIMUM TEST PROCEDURE WITHIN. Always utilize safety restraint systems and all other available safety equipment while operating the vehicle.
  • WARNING - DO NOT DRIVE ON UNTESTED BRAKES. BRAKES MUST BE TESTED AFTER INSTALLATION OR MAINTENANCE. MINIMUM TEST PROCEDURE: Make sure pedal is firm: Hold firm pressure on pedal for several minutes, it should remain in position without sinking. If pedal sinks toward floor, check system for fluid leaks. DO NOT drive vehicle if pedal does not stay firm or can be pushed to the floor with normal pressure. At very low speed (2-5 mph) apply brakes hard several times while turning steering from full left to full right, repeat several times. Remove the wheels and check that components are not touching, rubbing, or leaking. Carefully examine all brake components, brake lines, and fittings for leaks and interference. Make sure there is no interference with wheels or suspension components. Drive vehicle at low speed (15-20 mph) making moderate and hard stops. Brakes should feel normal and positive. Again check for leaks and interference. Always test vehicle in a safe place where there is no danger to (or from) other people or vehicles. Always wear seat belts and make use of all safety equipment.
  • CAUTION: 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 an interval relative to the usage of vehicle.
