Vehicle Damage Warnings

CAUTIONS:
Grease or any other foreign material must be kept off the caliper assembly, surfaces of the braking disc and external surfaces of the hub, during service procedures.

Handling the braking disc and caliper should be done in such a way as to avoid deformation of the disc and scratching or nicking the brake linings (pads).

If inspection reveals that the square sectioned caliper piston seal is worn or damaged, it should be replaced immediately.

During removal and installation of a wheel and tire assembly, use care not to strike the caliper.

Front wheel bearing end play must be within specifications.

Be sure vehicle is centered on the hoist before servicing any of the front end components to avoid bending or damaging disc splash shield on full right or left hand turns.

Dragging the brakes (common result of left foot application) should be avoided during vehicle operation.

The wheel, tire, hub and disc assembly cannot be removed as an assembly.
- The caliper assembly must be removed before removal of the hub and disc assembly.

As lining wears, reservoir level will go down.
- If fluid has been added between relines, then reservoir overflow may occur when the piston is pushed back into the new lining position.
- Overflowing can be avoided in this case by removal of a small amount of fluid before overflow occurs.

Before vehicle is moved after any brake service work, be sure and obtain a firm brake pedal by using proper bleeding procedures.
