Install the Linings
CAUTION
Use only the specified components when you
service the caliper. Do not mix components from
other calipers. If you install the wrong
components, the caliper will not operate
correctly and can cause damage to the
equipment. Use of non-Meritor parts can cause
damage, loss of braking and serious personal
injury.
Always replace both linings at the same time to
ensure brake performance. If only one lining is
replaced, damage to the disc can result.

and spring assembly in the OUTBOARD side
of the caliper.
NOTE:  
Replace the linings before the lining
material reaches a thickness of 0.200-inch 
(5.1 mm).
2. If you reuse the linings: Install the lining you
marked OUTBOARD back into the
OUTBOARD position. 
3. Slide the caliper INWARD. Install the lining
and spring assembly in the INBOARD side of
the caliper.
NOTE:  
Replace the linings before the lining
material reaches a thickness of 0.200-inch 
(5.1 mm).
