Installation Notes and Tips
Ensure the brake rotor surface is clean and free of debris before installing the new pads. Use the included mounting hardware and abutment clips to secure the pads properly. The adhesive-backed shims should be applied carefully to the backing plate to reduce noise. Although brake lubricant is not included, applying a high-temperature brake grease to the contact points (excluding the friction surface) can help prevent squealing. Follow vehicle-specific service manual instructions for torque specifications and installation procedures.
