Removal & Installation

NOTE: An on-car brake lathe must be used to resurface front brake disc.
  1. Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheels. Remove caliper assembly, and suspend it using wire. Install washers and nuts to hold rotor to hub. Attach dial indicator to caliper mount .40" (10.0 mm) from disc outer edge. Check disc runout before removal. See FRONT BRAKE DISC  under TESTING & INSPECTION. See appropriate table under DISC BRAKE SPECIFICATIONS .
  2. Detach and remove two 6-mm disc retaining screws. Install two 8 x 1.25 x 12-mm bolts in existing holes. To prevent warpage, alternately turn bolts 2 turns at a time until disc can be removed from hub.
  3. Clean disc of all rust, and inspect disc surfaces for cracks and grooves. Replace disc as necessary. To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten retaining screws. Bleed hydraulic system, if necessary. See BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM .
