Vehicle Damage Warnings







1. Grease or any other foreign material must be kept off lining surfaces and braking surfaces of front disc brake rotor (1125), and external surfaces of hub during Service operation. In handling the front disc brake rotor and disc brake caliper (2B120) assemblies, avoid deformation of front disc brake rotor, and nicking or scratching of brake linings.

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

2. If a front disc brake caliper piston is removed for any reason, piston seal must be replaced. Exercise care not to damage front disc brake caliper 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 front disc brake rotor shield (2K004) or bleeder screw fitting.
4. Before servicing any front end components, ensure vehicle is centered on hoist to avoid bending or damaging front disc brake rotor shield on full right or left wheel turns.
5. Do not attempt to clean or restore oil or grease-soaked rear brake shoes and linings (2200). When contaminated rear brake shoes and linings are found, rear brake shoes and linings must be replaced in complete axle sets and front disc brake rotor and brake drum braking surfaces wiped clean.
6. Disc brake calipers must be installed with bleed screws in upward position for proper brake bleeding of air from brake system.
7. Always Replace brake pad insulators when replacing linings.
