Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Vehicle:

   • Park your ATV/UTV on a level surface.
   • Engage the parking brake to prevent any movement during installation.

2. Remove the Wheels:

   • Using a socket wrench, loosen the lug nuts and then remove the wheels to access the brake components.

3. Remove Old Brake Pads:

   • Locate the brake caliper and use a socket wrench to remove the bolts holding it in place.
   • Carefully slide the caliper off the rotor.
   • Remove the old brake pads from the caliper brackets. Take note of how the pads are positioned for reference during installation.

4. Clean the Brake Components:

   • Use brake cleaner and a clean cloth to remove any debris or dust from the caliper, rotor, and surrounding areas.

5. Prepare for New Brake Pads:

   • Compress the caliper piston using a C-clamp or brake pad spreader. Place the clamp over the caliper and against the piston, gently tightening until the piston is fully retracted.

6. Install New Brake Pads:

   • Position the new brake pads into the caliper brackets in the same orientation as the old pads.
   • Reattach the caliper over the new brake pads and align it with the rotor.

7. Secure the Caliper:

   • Replace and tighten the caliper bolts using a socket wrench. Be sure to adhere to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.

8. Reinstall the Wheels:

   • Place the wheel back onto the hub and hand-tighten the slug nuts.
   • Lower the vehicle and fully tighten the lug nuts in a crisscross pattern using a torque wrench.

9. Test the Brakes:

   • Before driving, pump the brake lever/pedal several times to ensure proper contact between the pads and the rotor.
   • Check for any unusual noises or issues.

10. Final Check:

• After a short test run, inspect the installation for proper adjustments and ensure everything is secure.

Safety Precautions:

• Always wear safety gloves and goggles while working on your vehicle to protect against brake dust and debris.
• Ensure you are working in a well-ventilated area when using brake cleaner.
