Removal Procedure
Caution: Avoid taking the following actions when you service wheel brake parts:
^
Do not grind brake linings.
^
Do not sand brake linings.
^
Do not clean wheel brake parts with a dry brush or with compressed air.
Some models or aftermarket brake parts may contain asbestos fibers which can become airborne in dust. Breathing dust with asbestos fibers may cause
serious bodily harm. Use a water-dampened cloth in order to remove any dust on brake parts. Equipment is available commercially in order to perform
this washing function. These wet methods prevent fibers from becoming airborne.
Caution: Brake fluid may irritate eyes and skin. In case of contact, take the following actions:
^
Eye contact-rinse thoroughly with water.
^
Skin contact-wash with soap and water.
^
If ingested-consult a physician immediately.
Notice: Brake fluid will damage electrical connections and painted surfaces. Use shop cloths, suitable containers, and fender covers to prevent brake
fluid from contacting these areas. Always re-seal and wipe off brake fluid containers to prevent spills.
