Put a lug nut on to hold the rotor in place while you put the caliper bracket back on. Tighten the caliper bracket bolts to 79 ft-lbs using your torque wrench. Gently slide the brake pads into the slots. Put a little bit of caliper grease on the slots, if there is not some there already.
Can you change both brake pads and rotors at the same time?
