Technician Safety Information

CAUTION: Install a new pad if it is worn to or past the specified thickness above the metal backing plate or rivets. Install new pads in complete axle sets.

CAUTION: When removing the front disc brake caliper, never allow it to hang from the brake hose. Provide a suitable support.

CAUTION: Do not allow grease, oil, brake fluid or other contaminants to contact the pad lining material. Do not install contaminated pads.

CAUTION: Use care not to damage the bleeder screw or front wheel disc brake shield.

CAUTION: Use a hub-mount brake lathe if necessary to machine the rear brake disc.

CAUTION: Stainless steel slipper replacement is mandatory with the service brake pad installation, even if the slippers appear undamaged. Make sure the slippers are correctly positioned with the slipper ends snug against the outboard end of the anchor plate rail.
