Rear Brake Precautions

NOTE: Observe the following precautions when servicing the rear disc brake system.

^ When removing the rear disc brake caliper, never allow it to hang from the rear brake hose. Provide a suitable support.
^ Replace the rear brake pads and linings when they are worn to a thickness of 3.12 mm (1/8 in).
^ Always replace the rear brake pads and linings in full axle sets. Never replace on one side of the vehicle only.
^ Do not allow grease, oil, brake fluid or other contaminants to contact the rear brake lining material. Do not install contaminated brake pads and linings.
^ Use care not to damage the bleeder screw or rear wheel disc brake shield.
^ During installation, make sure all components are properly aligned and fasteners are securely tightened.
