6. Install the wheels and using a crisscross pattern,
tighten the wheel nuts in 20 ft-lb (27.2 N-m) incre-
ments to a final torque of 45 ft-lb (61.2 N-m) (steel
wheel), 60 ft-lb (81.6 N-m) (aluminum wheel w/black
nuts), or 80 ft-lb (108.8 N-m) (aluminum wheel w/
chrome nuts).
7. Remove the vehicle from the support stand.

! WARNING
The manufacturer recommends only authorized ROV
dealers perform hydraulic brake service. Failure to
properly repair brake systems can result in loss of con-
trol causing severe injury or death.
REMOVING/DISASSEMBLING
1. Secure the vehicle on a support stand to elevate the
wheel; then remove the wheel.
! WARNING
Make sure the vehicle is solidly supported on the sup-
port stand to avoid injury.
! WARNING
Never let brake fluid contact the eyes. Damage to the
eyes will occur. Always wear appropriate protective
safety goggles and latex gloves when handling brake
fluid.
2. Remove the rubber plug covering the bleed screw;
then attach a drain hose to the bleed screw. Loosen
the bleed screw; then drain the brake fluid from the
caliper, hose, and master cylinder through the bleed
screw by pumping the brake pedal.

CAUTION
Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Do not spill brake fluid
on any surface of the vehicle and do not reuse brake
fluid.
 NOTE: Whenever brake components are removed,
disassembled, or repaired where brake fluid is
exposed to air, drain all fluid and replace with new
DOT 4 brake fluid from an unopened container.
Brake fluid readily absorbs moisture from the air sig-
nificantly lowering the boiling point. This increases
the chance of vapor lock reducing braking power and
increasing stopping distance.
3. Remove the brake hose (discard the crush washers)
from the caliper and close the bleed screw; then
remove the caliper.
4. Remove the brake pad pins.
PK270
5. Compress the caliper holder against the caliper and
remove the outer brake pad; then remove the inner
brake pad.
NOTE: If brake pads are to be returned to service,

do not allow brake fluid to contaminate them.
