INSTALLATION
NOTES:
^
If front disc brake rotor is moved relative to the wheel hub and rust or dirt may have shifted between front disc brake rotor and wheel hub,
on-vehicle rotor runout can be increased significantly. This can lead to brake pulsation. Check Disc Runout.
^
If rotor is to be removed, mark rotor and one stud with touch-up paint to ensure proper alignment.
^
Clean all dirt or foreign material from mating surfaces of caliper locating pins and caliper housing ears. Dirt can cause caliper locating pins to be
crooked after rear brake pin retainers are torqued, preventing disc brake caliper from sliding properly.
CAUTION:Do not pry directly against metal piston, or damage to piston will occur.
