2.2 Install the brake pipe alignment tool. Check that the brake pipe orientation is correct:
- The flex hose alignment line is straight
- The brake pipe faces forward and locates correctly in the alignment tool
2.3 If the alignment is not correct, carefully back off the pipe union at the brake calliper until the pipe can be rotated backwards to allow forward movement when being re-torqued. Re torque the brake pipe union to 22 Nm then re check alignment as detailed above.

Removal
Place a cloth around the brake reservoir filler neck to absorb any possible brake fluid spillage.
- Raise the vehicle and make safe.
- For each affected wheel station remove the road wheel(s).
Retract the caliper pistons (allowing easier removal of caliper). Retracting the caliper pistons may cause the brake fluid reservoir to overflow.
3. Rear Road Wheels Only.
Remove the parking brake caliper (Refer to ‘Brake Caliper’, page 6-3-2).
- Remove bolts (x2) and withdraw the caliper.
Support the caliper to prevent excessive strain on flexible hose. - Remove retaining screws. Withdraw the brake disc.
