Vehicle Damage Warnings

1. Grease or any other foreign material must be kept off lining surfaces and braking surfaces of front disc brake hub and rotor (1102), and external surfaces of hub during service operation. In handling the front disc brake hub and rotor and front disc brake caliper assemblies, avoid deformation of front disc brake hub and rotor, and nicking or scratching of brake linings.

CAUTION: Do not pry on piston with a screwdriver or other tools, as this will cause chipping, nicks and gouges.

2. If a caliper piston is removed for any reason, piston seal must be replaced. Exercise care not to damage piston by protecting it from contact with any metal or sharp objects.
3. During removal and installation of a wheel assembly, exercise care not to interfere with and damage splash shield or bleeder screw fitting.
4. Before servicing any front end components, ensure vehicle is centered on hoist to avoid bending or damaging splash shield on full right or left wheel turns.
5. Do not attempt to clean or restore oil or grease-soaked brake linings. When contaminated linings are found, brake linings must be replaced in complete axle sets and rotor braking surfaces wiped clean.
6. Front disc brake calipers must be installed with bleed screws in upward position for proper bleeding of air from brake system.
7. Always replace brake pad insulators when replacing linings.
