Special Tool(s)
WARNING: DANGER, do not breathe dust or use compressed air to blow dust from storage containers or friction components. Use a low
pressure/wet cleaning method, such as a solvent based brake and clutch cleaner to remove all adherent dust. Friction component dust may be
a cancer and lung disease hazard. Exposure to potentially hazardous components may occur if dusts are created during repair of friction
components, such as brake pads and clutch discs. Exposure may also cause irritation to skin, eyes and respiratory tract, and may cause
allergic reactions and/or may lead to other chronic health effects. If irritation persists, seek medical attention or advice. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
NOTE: The 5.4L application is an assembly of discs and plates. It is serviced as an assembly only.
