Installation Procedure
- Thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface of the hub/axle flange.
- Thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface and mounting surface of the brake rotor.
- Inspect the mating surfaces of the hub/axle flange and the rotor to ensure there are no foreign particles or debris remaining.
- If installing a NEW brake rotor, clean the friction surfaces of the brake rotor with denatured alcohol.
- Inspect the mating surfaces of the hub/axle flange and the rotor to ensure that there are no foreign particles or debris remaining.
- NOTE:
If installing the original brake rotor, align the relationship mark made during removal.

- Slowly release the brake pedal.
- Wait 15 seconds, then repeat steps 12 - 13 until a firm brake pedal is obtained. This will properly seat the brake caliper pistons and brake pads.
CAUTION:
Whenever the rotor has been separated from the axle flange, clean any rust or foreign material from the mating surface of the axle flange and brake rotor. Failure to do this may result in increased lateral runout of the rotor and brake pulsation.
