See BRAKES, Repair.
WARNING: When renewing brake pads, it
is essential that only genuine components
with correct grade of lining are used.
Always fit new pads in axle sets, NEVER
individually or as a single wheel set. Serious
consequences could result from out of balance
braking due to mixing of linings.
REFIT ROAD WHEELS
Fit road wheels in original hub position. Secure in
position with wheel nuts, do not fully tighten wheel
nuts at this stage, lower vehicle and finally tighten
wheel nuts. Tighten to
108 Nm (80 lbf.ft)
CAUTION: When refitting a road wheel,
apply a suitable anti-seize compound such
as Raworth 33/04, to the spigot bore of the
wheel. This will prevent possible seizure of the
wheel to the hub spigot. Ensure that no
compound comes into contact with the braking
components.
CHECK FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Use recognised wheel alignment equipment to
perform this check.
See STEERING, Adjustment.
LUBRICATE DOOR LOCKS, CHECK STRAPS,
BONNET CATCHES AND FUEL FLAP.
