Front Brake Rotor: Installation

CAUTION: DO NOT machine the rotor if it will cause the rotor to fall below minimum thickness. See DISC BRAKE SPECIFICATIONS  .
NOTE: Before installation, verify that the brake rotor face and the hub adapters are free of any chips, rust, or contamination. When mounting and using the brake lathe, pay strict attention to the brake lathe manufacturer's operating instructions. Machine both sides of the brake rotor at the same time. Cutting both sides at the same time minimizes the possibility of a tapered or uneven cut.
  1. Install the brake rotor over the studs on the hub. Install the disc brake caliper and adapter assembly over the brake rotor.
  2. Install the mounting bolts securing the caliper adapter to the steering knuckle. See Figure . Tighten the bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
  3. Install the tire and wheel assembly. Tighten the wheel lug nuts to specification. Lower the vehicle.
  4. Pump the brake pedal several times before moving the vehicle to set the pads to the brake rotor. Road test the vehicle and make several stops to seat the brake pads to the rotor.
