Removal Procedure
1. 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 support the vehicle. Refer Vehicle Lifting
