REMOVAL PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Do not move the vehicle until a firm brake pedal is obtained. Failure to obtain a firm pedal before moving vehicle may result in
personal injury.
NOTICE: Do not allow components to hang from the flexible brake hoses as damage to the hoses may occur. Some brake hoses have protective rings
or covers to prevent direct contact of the hose with other chassis parts. Besides causing possible structural damage to the hose, excessive tension could
cause the hose rings to move out of their proper locations.
