Installation Procedure
1. Important: Whenever the brake rotor has been separated from the hub/axle flange, any rust or contaminants should be cleaned from the hub/axle
flange and the brake rotor mating surfaces. Failure to do this may result in excessive assembled lateral runout (LRO) of the brake rotor, which
could lead to brake pulsation.
Using the J42450-A, thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface of the hub/axle flange.
2. Using the J41013, thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface and mounting surface of the brake rotor.
3. Inspect the mating surfaces of the hub/axle flange and the rotor to ensure that there are no foreign particles or debris remaining.
4. Connect the park brake cable to the park brake lever.
5. Adjust the clearance of the park brake shoe to the drum-in-hat portion of the brake rotor.
