6. If a new rotor is being installed, remove the protective coating from the rotor with
Carburetor Tune-Up Cleaner D9AZ-19579-AA or equivalent before installation. If
the old rotor is being installed, make sure the rotor braking and mounting surfaces
are clean.
Failure to clean rust and foreign debris from the rotor and hub mounting
faces when installing a new or used rotor, will result in high lateral run-
out, which will speed up the development of brake roughness, shudder
and/or vibration.
7. Apply a small amount of Silicone Dielectric Compound D7AZ-19A331-A or
equivalent to the pilot diameter of the rotor.
8. Install the rotor on the wheel hub assembly.
9. Install the caliper and caliper anchor bolts on the rotor, then tighten the bolts to 85
ft. lbs. (115 Nm).
10. Install the wheel and tire assembly, then hand-tighten the lug nuts.
11. Lower the vehicle, then final tighten the lug nuts to 85-105 ft. lbs. (115-142 Nm).
Pump the brake pedal before moving the car to position the brake shoes and
linings.
INSPECTION
Check the disc brake rotor for scoring, cracks or other damage. Rotor run-out
should be measured while the rotor is installed, but rotor thickness (or thickness
variation) may be checked with the rotor installed or removed. Use a dial gauge
to check the rotor run-out. Check the rotor thickness to make sure it is greater
than the minimum allowable thickness, and check for thickness variations using a
