Grease or any other foreign material must be kept off lining surfaces and
braking surfaces of rotor, and external surfaces of hub during service
operation. In handling rotor and caliper assemblies, avoid deformation, nicking
or scratching of brake linings and rotor.
If a caliper piston is removed for any reason, piston seal and dust boot
must be replaced. Exercise care not to damage steel piston by protecting it
from contact with any metal or sharp edged objects.
During removal and installation of a wheel assembly, exercise care not to
interfere with or damage caliper splash shield, if so equipped, or the bleeder
screw fitting.
Vehicle must be centered on hoist before servicing any front end components
to avoid bending or damaging rotor splash shield, if so equipped, on full right
or left wheel turns. Refer to Section 00-02.
Do not attempt to clean or restore oil or grease-soaked brake lining. When
contaminated linings are found, brake linings must be replaced in complete axle
sets and rotor braking surfaces wiped clean.
The LH and RH calipers must be installed on the correct side of the vehicle
to be sure the bleed screw is in the topmost position for proper purging of air
from the front brake system during bleeding.
