Front
Front Brake Disc Replacement
1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations.
2. Remove the front wheels.
3. Remove the brake hose mounting bolt (A).
4. Remove the brake caliper bracket mounting bolts (B), and remove the caliper assembly (C) from the knuckle. To prevent damage to the caliper
assembly or brake hose, use a short piece of wire to hang the caliper assembly from the undercarriage. Do not twist the brake hose excessively.
5. Remove the 6 mm brake disc flat screws (A).
6. Remove the brake disc (B) from the hub.
NOTE: If the brake disc has clung to the hub, thread two 8 x 1.25 mm bolts (C) into the brake disc to push it away from the hub. Turn each bolt
90 degrees at a time to prevent the brake disc from binding.
7. Install the brake disc in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
^
Before installing the brake disc, clean the mating surface of the front hub and the inside of the brake disc.
^
Before installing the wheel, clean the mating surface of the brake disc and the inside of the wheel.
