Disc Brake System: Service Precautions

When servicing the front disc brakes, observe the following precautions:
^ Always replace brake shoes and linings in full axle sets.
^ Never replace brake shoe and lining on just one side of the vehicle.
^ Before compressing caliper pistons into the caliper bore, remove and discard enough brake fluid from the brake master cylinder reservoir to allow for piston displacement.
^ Never allow the weight of the disc brake caliper to hang from the front brake hose.
^ After servicing the brakes, always test brakes before attempting to move the vehicle.
