Removal Procedure
1. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
Notice: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from it's mount and the hydraulic flexible brake
hose is still connected. Failure to support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to bear the weight of the caliper, which may
cause damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak.
2. Remove the brake caliper from the mounting bracket and support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent; do NOT disconnect
the hydraulic brake flexible hose from the caliper.
3. Remove the brake caliper bracket assembly.
4. Remove the brake rotor.
Installation Procedure
Important: Whenever the rotor has been separated from the wheel bearing flange, clean any rust or contaminants from the wheel bearing flange and
the brake rotor mating surfaces. Failure to do this may result in increased lateral runout of the brake rotor, and brake pulsation.
1. Use the J 42450-A in order to clean any rust or corrosion from the wheel hub surface.
2. Install the brake rotor over the wheel studs onto the wheel bearing flange.
3. Install the brake caliper bracket assembly.
4. Install the brake caliper to the brake caliper bracket assembly.
5. Install the tire and wheel assembly.
