Q: How to Install a Brake Pad for Your Parking Brake on 2008 Dodge Viper?
A: Your first step is to take out the brake pads when installing new parking brake pads. If the caliper piston is not completely inside its bore, insert the double-pin end of Piston Retractor 6366 at the top of the piston, rotated in a clockwise direction to push it all the way in. Following, place the parking brake pads in the caliper, seeing that the inboard and outboard pads are the same. Slide the anti-rattle spring into position and then put retaining pin 1 through both the spring and the two holes in the pads. Go on to use the drift punch until the end of the retaining pin is firmly in the caliper's outer side and then place hair pin 3 in the slot at the end of the brake pads retaining pin. Place parking brake caliper 3 onto knuckle 1 and join it with mounting bolts. Tighten upper bolt 5 to 32 Nm (24 ft. lbs.) and lower bolt 4 to 52 Nm (38 ft. lbs.). After that, fit the wheel and tire, first attaching the tire then the wheel nut, finally tightening the wheel's mounting nuts up to 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.). Bring the vehicle down, shift the parking brake, push it all the way and then remove everything blocking the tires and wheels.
