Please read the instructions completely prior to installation.
1. Raise front of vehicle and support with jack stands. (Refer to the owner’s manual for proper jack points.) Be sure to block the rear wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
2. Remove wheels.
3. Remove the mounting bolts for the stock caliper, but do not disconnect the brake line yet. Lift the caliper off the rotor and set it on the suspension out of the way. Do not let it hang by the brake line.
4. Remove the stock rotor.
5. Remove stock dust shield. (It can be trimmed off.) It will not be reused.
6. Install the caliper bracket (“L” towards the inside) to the inboard side of the spindle using the caliper mounting holes with the stock caliper mounting bolt. Apply Blue Loctite to threads and torque to 65 ft-lbs.
7. Install the Brake Pros/AP Racing rotor assembly onto the hub.
8. Install the Brake Pros/AP Racing caliper onto the caliper bracket studs and over the rotor. Brake line mount should be to the inside and bleeder valve to the top. Use the 7/16”x20 jet nut and 7/16’ washer to secure. Torque to 54 ft-lbs.
9. Disconnect end fitting of the stock brake line and attach the new stainless steel brake line in its’ place. Attach other end to caliper and tighten until snug. Be sure not to allow the master cylinder to drain completely. Also, do not allow the brake fluid to touch the paint.
10. Repeat the procedure on the other side.
11. Bleed the brakes. Check brake line fittings for leaks. Retighten and bleed as necessary.
12. Recheck complete installation.
13. Install wheels. Important! Hand tighten the lug nuts, then progressively in a crisscross pattern torque to 85 lbs./ft.
14. Road test the car.
Brake Pros/AP Racing BRAKE UPGRADE BREAK- IN PROCEDURE
Bedding of the new brake disc (stress relieving the cast iron disc after it has been bolted to the mounting bell) is of extreme importance if premature warping is to be avoided. This important but often overlooked procedure can keep the brakes from being used to their full potential. The Brake Pros/AP Racing discs are produced from the same castings as the full race discs. When used in the controlled arena of motorsports it is easy to instruct the driver to gradually bring the disc up to working temperature with some moderate braking over a small amount of measured laps. Progressively increasing his braking effort until an engineer accesses the disc visually or by temperature readings.
