Rear Brake Pad Installation for Alfetta, GTV6 & Milano

 

1. Chock the front wheels and raise the rear of the car. Support it securely on jack stands.

2. Remove the spring clips from the pad retaining pins.

3. Slide the pad retaining pins out of the caliper housing and remove the cross spring.

4. Unscrew the plastic cap covering the pad adjuster screw, loosen the locknut, and turn the allen-head screw to withdraw the outboard caliper piston. Then turn the external adjuster to withdraw the inboard piston.

5. Slide the old pads out of the caliper.

6. Brush all dust and dirt from the caliper jaws and ensure that the pistons are fully retracted.

7. Replace the cross spring and pad retaining pins and refit the spring clips.

8. Turn the pad adjustment screws to obtain a pad to disc clearance of .004 to .006 - measure with a feeler gauge. Tighten the outboard pad adjuster nut and refit the plastic cap, taking care not to overtighten it.

9. Repeat the procedure for the other rear caliper.

10. Apply the brake pedal firmly two or three times to set the pads.

11. Remove the jack stands and lower the car.
