NOTICE: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application.
The manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the fasteners that require
thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors)
on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and joint clamping force, and may
damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you
avoid damage to parts and systems.

CAUTION: When servicing brake parts, do not create dust by grinding or sanding brake linings, by cleaning brake parts with a dry
brush or with compressed air. Many earlier models or aftermarket brake parts may contain asbestos fibers which can become airborne If
dust Is created during servicing. Breathing dust containing asbestos fibers may cause serious bodily harm. A water dampened cloth or
water based solution should be used to remove any dust on brake parts. Equipment Is commercially available to perform this washing
function. These wet methods will prevent fibers from becoming airborne.
