A. Plastic Wheel Liner Modification and Brake Tube Inspection

1. Lift the vehicle on a frame contact hoist.





2. Mark the left front wheel opening plastic wheel liner as shown in Figure 1. The line drawn should be about 5/8 inch (16 mm) up from the bottom edge of the shield.

3. Cut the left front wheel opening plastic wheel liner along the line made in Step 2 (Figure 1).





4. Clean the left rear brake tube and inspect the black coating, at the area shown in Figure 2, for damage:

- If the black coating on the left rear brake tube has no damage, continue with Step 5.

- If the black coating on the left rear brake tube is scuffed but no bare metal is showing the brake tube is good. Continue with Step 5.

- If the black coating on the left rear brake tube has been damaged and bare metal is visible, replace the left rear brake tube. Continue with Step 5 to complete the inspection before replacing the left rear brake tube.





5. Mark the right front wheel opening plastic wheel liner as shown in Figure 3. The line drawn should be about 1-1/4 inch (30 mm) up from the bottom edge of the shield.

6. Cut the right front wheel opening plastic liner along the line made in Step 4 (Figure 3).





7. Inspect the right front brake tube black coating, at the area shown in Figure 4, for damage:

- If the black coating on the right front brake tube has no damage and the left rear brake tube previously inspected has no damage, continue with Section F.

- If the black coating on the right front brake tube is scuffed, but no bare metal is showing, the right front brake tube is good. If the previously inspected left rear brake tube was not damaged or only scuffed, continue with Section F.

- If the black coating on the right front brake tube has been damaged and bare metal is visible, replace the right brake tube. For Left Hand Drive, continue with Section B to replace the right front brake tube or Section C to replace just the left rear brake tube. For Right Hand Drive, continue with Section D to replace the right front brake tube or Section E to replace just the left rear brake tube.
