Removal Procedure
1. Caution: Refer to Brake Dust Caution in Service Precautions.
Notice: Any new rotor must have the protective coating removed from the friction surfaces before being placed in service. Remove the protective
coating using denatured alcohol or an equivalent, and wipe the surface clean with clean cloths. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or other oil base
solvents which may leave an oily residue. This residue is damaging to the brake lining and is flammable.
Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
3. Notice: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from its 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.
Remove and support the caliper and bracket as an assembly with heavy mechanics wire. DO NOT disconnect the hydraulic flexible brake hose.
4. Remove the brake rotor.
5. Important: When a brake rotor has been separated from a hub/axle flange, the mating surface of the brake rotor must be cleaned of any rust or
contaminants. Failure to do this may result in lateral runout of the brake rotor, and brake pulsation.
If the brake rotor is to be reinstalled to the vehicle, use the J41013 in order to clean any rust or corrosion from the hub/axle flange mating surface
of the brake rotor.
6. Use the J42450-A in order to clean the wheel hub flange.
Installation Procedure
1. Install the brake rotor.
2. Install the caliper bracket.
3. Install the tire and the wheel.
4. Lower the vehicle.
