Boeing 717

Well guys i got my new rotors on and everything back together, not too hard of a job. I have a couple of questions.....

1) you know those mushroom things that pop into the pistons on the calipers??? well on the right caliper they just kept popping out and after i put the pads in and the caliper back on those anti squeal mushrooms pop out and push the pad into the rotor causing a light rubbing against the rotor... Is that bad????

2) Whats the torque on the 2 bolts that hold the caliper on???

I will be bleeding soon, im going to start with the accumulator then the rear brakes then the front brakes. Is this the right sequence or does it matter??

3) do i have to bleed the clutch??

THANKS

I did not replace or use the oem anti pads. I did use some anti gel that turns to rubber that I have used for years on all my cars. You don't have to bleed the clutch but I would just to have new fluid.

hi,

the "mushrooms" should fit properly into the pistons and remain there. they are available in a few different diameters, are you sure, that you´ve got the right ones?

torque for caliper bolts is 85 nm / 63 lbf-ft / 752 lbf-in

Yea got the right mushrooms but they just kept "springing out" not all of them.... like 2 of them tried to bend the little metal prongs to get more grip but no help
