"After you have got your brake pads seated back into the bracket, you want to look the caliper over and make sure you don't have any brake fluid leaks. Make sure the rubber sleeve is good around this piston. This is what we pried on in the beginning to move the, retract the piston back a little to get the tension off. You just want to simply make sure that everything is in place as far as your clips. The pads are in there right, and you fit this caliper back on, and the two bolts that you started with, the thirteen?s, you place them back in. You get your tools used through this, tighten them back down. Once again you want to make sure that you have threaded the bolts in starting them so that you?re not cross thread, and you tighten it back down and make sure that you get it snug, because once again it is a safety issue. You do not want this coming apart while you're driving. Make sure you get all of the bolts nice and snug. That is putting the caliper back and putting the bolts back in."
