3.  Thoroughly scrub clean all four calipers. It is crucial that this step be done completely thoroughly to insure a good reliable bond.

4.  Once you have cleaned and prepped the caliper surfaces you can now install your new stainless covers with confidence. The front caliper cover  is a two piece installation. The long scalloped cap cover will need some additional preparation to attach this piece. Your kit comes to you with a small abrasive pad. Use this pad to scuff the underside of the long scalloped cap as well as the area of the caliper bracket that is covers buy the new cap. Then swipe the area once again to make sure it is perfectly clean. Apply a small pile of pure 100% clear silicone at the two ends of the caliper bracket. This silicone will work excellent to bond the new cover to the caliper bracket. It is not affected by heat and is an excellent all around adhesive.

7.  The front caliper section also will utilize the silicone for installation however this piece will a snap over the main caliper bracket. This is a design upgrade and you will notice that there is a small square casting protruding from each end of the front caliper bracket. In order to install this piece you will need to release the caliper from rotor completely. Then apply your silicone to the two shoulders of the caliper bracket. Then slide one side over one square as you force the opposite side to snap over the other square. Then bend the tabs at both ends to make Sure they are properly folded over. These two tabs of the cover must be completely folded over to avoid any contact with the rotor once it is reinstalled. Remove the protective liner and then reinstall the caliper to finish the installation.
