Step 4: Install TRD caliper
鈥� Remove the caliper bridge, brake pads and foam spacer from the caliper.
鈥� Align the mounting holes on the rear of the caliper with the steering knuckle and insert newly provided hardware. Note: the factory hardware is a different
thread pitch and will damage the caliper if you attempt to use it.
鈥� Torque the mounting bolts to 79 lb-ft.
鈥� Reinstall the brake pads and caliper bridge. Do not torque the retention bolt 鈥� tighten snugly.

Step 5: Install new TRD braided lines
鈥� Attach the new braided lines to the mounting point on the strut.
鈥� Thread the steel line fitting into the top thread and install into chassis mount with retaining clip.
鈥� Tighten the fitting on the steel line to 132 lb-in using a line wrench.
鈥� Connect the other end of the line to the caliper with the new copper washers. Tighten to 168lb-in.
Step 6: Bleed the brakes
鈥� Fill the brake fluid reservoir with brand new high quality brake fluid.
鈥� Attach a length of hose to the bleeder valve on the top of the brake caliper.
鈥� Have a friend push the brake pedal to the floor and hold.
鈥� Open the bleeder valve slightly to let air bubbles escape.
鈥� Pump brake pedal and repeat until no bubbles escape, topping up the reservoir as required.
Step 7: Check everything
鈥� Confirm that all mounting hardware is secure and torqued appropriately.
鈥� Confirm the wheel will turn lock-to-lock with no line binding.
鈥� Clean brake calipers and rotors with brake cleaner and clean rag. Remove L and R labels.
鈥� Reinstall cool Five Axis wheels and torque to 75 lb-ft.
Step 8: Bed-In the brakes
鈥� In a safe and legal location, bring the vehicle up to 100 km/h and brake firmly down to 10 km/h.
鈥� Repeat this procedure 10 times in quick succession to get heat into the pads and rotors.
鈥� DO NOT STOP THE VEHICLE!
鈥� Drive around to cool the brakes for 10 minutes without stopping.
鈥� Repeat the 10 braking process steps followed by a cooling drive.
鈥� You may repeat this a third time if desired. Failure to bed-in the brakes will result in poor performance and uneven pad deposition onto the rotor which could result in vibration. Don鈥檛 worry about the smell during the bed-in process 鈥� that鈥檚 normal!
