the sensors. You can drill one - or you can simply cable tie
the wires out of the way and leave them out until you put
your street pads back in.
Step 12: Mount the Wheel, Lower the Car, Torque
the Lug Bolts, Pump the Brake Pedal
NOW! Before you forget! Proper torque on our cars is about
95 ft-lbs. You should always do this in two passes, rather than
tightening one bolt all the way while its neighbor is still loose.
Further, you should torque every other bolt as you move
around the circle - in other words, 1-3-5-2-4, not 1-2-3-4-5.
To reduce the risk of overflowing the reservoir, now is a good
time to pump the brake pedal until the pistons push the pads far
enough to reach the wheel with no space between the piston,
anti-rattle clips and rotor. Slowly depress the pedal- - it will go
all the way to the floor. Release it slowly - over a few seconds,
and do this again. Do not rush, just be gentle and firm. Within a
few strokes you should feel the pedal firm up before it hits the
floor. Pump it a few more times to be sure.
If the pads you're installing have less material than the ones you
removed, this will lower the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
