Shop OEM Toyota Part # (0). Disc Brake Anti-Rattle Clip Set (Rear). Fitting Kit, Disc Brake. A set of clips, which snap onto the steering knuckle abutment or brake. The front disc brake system consists of numerous components that work in concert with each other, such as the piston and caliper, brake pads and anti-rattle clips. The anti-rattle clips provide a stable platform for the disc pads inside the caliper housing and stop brake pad vibration and chatter. Step 13: Install Caliper Bracket & Brake Pads. Install the caliper bracket and torque the caliper bracket bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications. Then, install the new pads. Apply a small amount of brake lube on the back of the pads where they contact the caliper, as shown in the photo below.

The anti-rattle clips provide a stable platform for the disc pads inside the caliper housing and stop brake pad vibration and chatter. Some Corolla and Matrix owners may experience a front brake rattle type of noise when the car is traveling over bumps. Updated front disc brake cylinder (caliper) mountings and disc brake pad support plates are available to eliminate this condition. Conduct a road test to verify the noise condition. Front brake rattle noise will occur when the front tire runs over a depression in the road.
Refurbish or Replace ?
What to do..what to do..? Should I use as much aspossible or build up from new? It all depends on the shape of the itemsyou came home from the salvage yard with. Rotors only cost 6 bucks to haveturned, but if they are factory originals and are close to their wear limits,then you're better off spending the extra $25 or so. Calipers can havefrozen pistons, or can leak if they've been on a junk car too long. Thecost of rebuilding them yourself is about $8 less than getting fresh ones fromthe store. Flex brake lines can rot and crack, but may still begood. It's always wise to remove and replace the inner and outer bearings.

Installation
Rule of the day: SAFETY!You are working with a 'safety of flight item' for your car. It ismandatory that this be done correctly and safely. You will be putting yourselfat risk by working under the car. You will be driving at high speeds andwill have passengers in your car, as well as ME in the oncoming trafficlane. Do not attempt this if you are not completely comfortable in yourknowledge of vehicle maintenance. I ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT ISPROVIDED HERE. THIS SITE IS FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. DO THIS MOD ATYOUR OWN RISK! (Have I left out any other disclaimers?) All kidding aside, thisis not swapping headlights or steering wheels..this is SERIOUS SAFETYstuff.
- Jack up the car and remove wheels. Disconnect flex brake lines at the hard line joint. Pull shock absorber, then remove, or compress the front spring using a spring compressor. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL.
- Remove existing drum system at the spindle joint to the upper and lower ball joints, and the tie rod.
- Be sure to measure the total length of the tie rod assembly; you will be aiming to install the new tie rod at about the same length. Remove the existing tie rod as it will not fit the Granada spindle.
- Disconnect the Master cylinder at the brake pedal attach pin, remove the push rod.
- Disconnect the brake lines from the existing distribution block. Cap remaining connections of lines going to the front and rear.
- Remove the two screws holding the single master cylinder, and the one screw holding the distribution block to the apron. Remove as an assembly.
- To install the spindle, the upper and lower arms need to be free to move up and down. This is why the front shocks and springs need to be removed, or the spring at least pulled up and secured. Use tons of caution when working with the spring. Buy or rent a good spring compressor. Don't skimp here.
- All replaced parts need to be Torqued per the torque values in the Mustang Shop manual.
- Here are the values for the 1966 unit

How To Install a PowerStop Brake Kit
Step 1: Tools
Have the following parts and specialty tools available before you start a pad and rotor installation:
- brake fluid (as specified in the owner’s manual)
- brake component lube
- a caliper piston compressor or C-clamp
- a jack and jack stands rated for the vehicles weight
- wheel chocks
We also recommend using safety glasses and gloves during the installation.
Step 2: Check Brake Fluid
Have the vehicle in the park position and make sure it is on a hard, level surface. Then, check the brake fluid level at the reservoir. The brake fluid reservoir should be about half full. Monitor the fluid level while compressing the caliper piston in step 9.
Step 3: Lift Vehicle
Before raising the vehicle, chock all wheels remaining on the ground, set the parking brake if the rear wheels will remain on the ground and loosen the lug nuts on the wheels just enough to break them free. Lift the vehicle and support it with jack stands using the proper jacking points specified by the manufacture.
Caution: Alwaysuse jack stands. Never attempt to work on an elevated vehicle held in placeonly by a hydraulic jack.
Step 4: Remove The Wheel
Remove the lug nuts and the wheel. It is best to work on one wheel at a time, leaving the other side intact as a point of reference. As a safety precaution, place the wheel/tire assembly under the vehicle at the nearest frame rail, suspension component or crossmember. In the event of a faulty jack stand, the wheel/tire will stop the vehicle from falling onto the ground.
Step 5: Inspect Brakes
Symptoms of a cracked well casing. After removing the wheel, inspect the brake components for any signs of leaks or damage.
Step 6: Remove Caliper
Remove the two caliper guide pin bolts that hold the caliper onto the bracket. Then, remove the caliper and support it using a brake caliper hanger or a regular wire coat hanger.

Caution: Always support the caliper. Never allow the caliper to hang from the brake hose. This can cause damage to the brake hose.
Step 7: Remove Pads & Caliper Bracket
Then, remove the two caliper bracket bolts along with the caliper bracket.
Step 8: Remove the Rotor
The rotor can now be removed. Before removing the rotor check for retaining screws. Some vehicles use retaining screws to hold the rotor onto the hub. These will need to be removed. Sometimes rust will make the rotor bind to the hub and a mallet will be needed to loosen it. Tap both the front and back side alternating left and right, top and bottom of the rotor.

Step 9: Compress the Piston
The next step is to compress the piston back inside the caliper. The piston has extended as the pad material wears. With new thicker pads, you must return the piston back inside the caliper body to give the thicker pads room for installation. Using a piston compressor or a large C-clamp, place a used brake pad over the face of the piston to protect the surface from marring, and begin compressing the piston. As you turn the handle on the clamp, it will increase pressure on the piston, until it becomes flush with the surrounding metal. Push the piston in slowly to prevent unsafe back pressure and damage to the ABS modulator, brake valving or master cylinder. Monitor the brake fluid reservoir level while compressing the caliper pistons to make sure it does not overflow. Then, loosen and remove the piston compressor or C-clamp used. It may be necessary to drain some fluid from the master cylinder reservoir.
NOTE: Many rear brakepistons cannot be retracted with a C-clamp as they screw in and out. This typeof brake piston will have two recessed notches and a caliper piston adjuster isused to compress the piston.
Step 10: Clean the Rotor Hub
Clean any rust off the face of the hub mating surface with a wire brush and a hub cleaning kit. Rust or debris on the hub can cause rotor runout and lead to wheel vibration. Apply a thin film of anti-seize to the face of the hub. This will make it easier to remove the rotor next time.
For more information on preparing the rotor hub for a brake kit install, check out this video:
Step 11: Clean the Rotor
Before installing the rotor, clean it with mild soap and water. Then, wipe it clean with a lint-free cloth. Now the new rotor can be installed.
Checking For Lateral Runout
When installing rotors, we recommend checking the lateral runout. This will tell you if any variation exists between the rotor and the hub to which it is mounted. Depending on the application, the maximum acceptable lateral runout can range from .003” to .005”. Always refer to the manufacture specifications for each application. If a variation exists, this is generally easy to correct by re-indexing the rotor one hole at a time. The goal is to reduce runout by finding the best position for the rotor. If the rotor is not properly indexed, it’s possible to have some vibration or pulsation issues and damage the rotors over time.
Keep this in mind if the rotor needs to be removed to perform any other services to the vehicle. Mark the position of the rotor relative to the hub before its removed to make sure it is re-installed in the same position.
Some vehicles use a retaining screw to hold the rotor into position on the hub. It is not possible to re-index this style of rotor.
Step 12: Install New Hardware
Remove the old hardware from the caliper bracket and use a wire brush to clean rust from the areas where the pads or hardware contact the bracket. This helps ensure the new hardware will sit correctly on the bracket. Then, inspect and replace all hardware as needed making sure to apply brake lube to the guide pins and pad contact points. Worn or damaged hardware can lead to noise or poor brake pad performance.
Step 13: Install Caliper Bracket & Brake Pads
Install the caliper bracket and torque the caliper bracket bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications. Then, install the new pads. Apply a small amount of brake lube on the back of the pads where they contact the caliper, as shown in the photo below:
Caution: Do not let any brake lube get onto the friction side of the pads.
Step 14: Install the caliper
Install the brake caliper, making sure to not twist the brake hose, and torque the caliper bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Step 15: Bleed the brakes
Bleed the brakes to remove any air from the brake system. We recommend bleeding the brakes every time you replace the pads and rotors. Not all vehicles have the same bleeding procedure. You should always refer to the Factory Service Manual for the proper procedure.
NOTE: Afterbleeding the brakes, make sure the brake fluid reservoir is filled to the maxline. Do not overfill the reservoir.

Step 16: Install the Wheel & Lug Nuts
Install the wheel and lug nuts. Then, lower the vehicle back onto the ground to finish tightening the lug nuts to the manufacturer’s specified torque. Follow the proper tightening sequence based on the number of lug nuts used, found in the picture below:
Step 17: Break-in Procedures
How To Install Anti Rattle Brake Clips
Complete one of the two break-in procedures below based on the PowerStop rotors installed.
IMPORTANT: Thebreak-in procedure is critical to providing consistent braking, quiet stoppingand trouble-free performance.
Break inProcedure for Drilled/Slotted and Non-Coated rotors:
Complete 5moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph down to 10 mph in rapid successionwithout letting the brakes cool and do not come to a complete stop. If you’reforced to stop, complete the stop and either shift the vehicle into park orgive room in front so you can allow the vehicle to roll slightly while waitingfor the traffic light. The rotors will be very hot and holding down the brakepedal will force the brake pad to contact the rotor and possibly create animprint on the rotor. This imprint may contribute to the creation of brakejudder.
How To Install Anti Rattle Clips On Brake Pads
Continue thebreak in by completing 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph in rapidsuccession without letting the brakes cool. You should expect to smell someresin as the brakes get hot. After this is complete, continue to drive thevehicle for as long as possible without heating the brakes excessively andwithout coming to a complete stop (Try for about 5 minutes at moderate speed).This is the cooling stage.
Once this is completed and the brakes have cooled to standard operating temperature, you may use the brakes normally. Never cool your brakes with water, as this can damage them.
Break inProcedure for Evolution Coated Rotors:
Afterinstallation, perform 30 decelerations from 30 mph to 5 mph. With 30 seconds inbetween each deceleration for cooling. You should expect to smell some resin asthe brakes get hot.
