Front Brake Installation: 1.) Refer to shop manual for removal procedure for the existing calipers, dust shield, caliper mounting brackets, and rotors. Retain hardware for use with new brackets supplied with the WCF 10.25 brake kit. The replacement hubs are not supplied with new wheel bearings or seals as the seals and bearings on your car may still be in peak condition and can be transferred over to the WCF supplied hubs 2.) The replacement front brake calipers are left and right hand units with the bleeder screw located at the top. The supplied mounting brackets are interchangeable from left to right. After making sure that the mounting ears on the existing Fiero spindles are clean, bolt the small four-hole and the large four-hole bracket together with the two 1/2" bolts supplied in the outer two hole locations with the spacers between the two brackets, with the bolts going from the "U" caliper bracket through the spacer to the spindle adapter. After this, install the bracket to the spindle so that the mounting ears on the spindle pass between the two brackets, making sure that the "U" shaped bracket is on the outside of the ears on the spindle. Use the bolts from the old bracket to mount the new caliper bracket to the spindle. 3.) Replace the OEM front rotors with the hubs provided in the WCF kit, using the shop Manual for the proper installation procedure of the hubs. 4.) Install the new rotors on the front hubs. 5.) Cut the tabs off the inside caliper brake pads as per the drawing. 6.) Install the S10 caliper to the new bracket using the standard S10 mounting pins for the caliper. 7.) Install the brake lines as per the shop manual. 1.) Remove the calipers and rotors, as well as the dust covers from the rear brake assemblies. On some fieros there is a small bracket on the lower "A" arm that has to be ground down or cut back to miss the back side of the rotor. Along with this, the tab on the upright has to be removed to clear the rotor. 2.) Remove grind the ears on the lower “A” arm in front of the ball joint as they will hit the rotor when the car is lowered to the ground. 3.) Install the new caliper bracket with the stamp "TOP" on the bracket facing up. Use the 11mm allen head cap screws with the spacers provided to bolt the caliper bracket to the upright. Place the bolt through the bracket and spacer to the upright then tighten to the repair manuals specifications. 4.) Place the rotor on the hub flange 5.) Install the emergency brake arm and cable-housing brackets provided. 6.) Install the caliper assembly with the new mounting pins, making sure to leave the caliper that is up side down (brake bleeder down) finger tight. 7.) Install a new brake line on the right side ( same length one as used on the front) 8.) Install the brake lines with new copper crush washers. (You will have to trim the brass block on the brake line to so the hose will clear the emergency brake arm). 9.) Bleed the brakes as per the shop Manuel remember to keep the pistons on the right caliper apart while Turing the caliper upside down to bleed the caliper. 10.) Make sure all bolts are tight on the brake system! 11.) Drill a hole in the sub frame in the cavity ware the lower "A" arm is located approximately one half the way between the transverse cross-member and the engine oil pan on each side to relocate the emergency brake cables. This is where the cables from the wheels will now cross the frame. 12.) Remove the clamp on the emergency cable next to the shock to allow the cable to move down. Now run the cable under the drive shaft around the oil pan and connect to the other cables. Drill a new screw hole below the old hole to move the cable down and re-clamp the emergency cable that goes inside the car to the brake lever. Now adjust the cable to the factory Fiero specification. 1.) Install the adapter's in the master cylinder 2.) Remove the hexagonal plug on the back of the proportioning valve remove the valve in the body. Remove the "o" RING on the valve shuttle and spring. Insert the valve into the hex nut and reinstall into the proportioning valve body. 3.) Install the line adapters in the proportioning valve body 4.) Install the curled line in the rear port on the master cylinder and rear port on the proportioning valve 5.) Install the front angle bent line in the front ports of the master cylinder and proportioning valve. 6.) Bleed braking system, reinstall wheels, ensure proper brake functions and control, and enjoy! |
