Hydraulic and Mechanical Components
WARNING
• Use the top bleeding port on each caliper to bleed that respective front wheel.
• Ensure hydraulic hoses cannot contact any moving parts that will cause wear and damage.
5. Repeat procedure for the opposite brake if necessary.
6. Install the tire and wheel. Finger-tighten the lug nuts.
7. Lower the vehicle and use a crisscross pattern to tighten the lug nuts to 85 ft-lb (115 N·m).
8. Inspect the brake system. See Brake System Inspection on page 6-4.
9. Burnish the new pads before initial vehicle operation. On a flat, open surface, accelerate the vehicle to moderate
speed, then apply the brakes under modest, steady pressure. Repeat this procedure eight to twelve times.

BRAKE DISCS

See General Warning on page 1-2.
Disc Removal
WARNING
• If at any point in this procedure the hydraulic system is opened, the brakes must be bled after the
correct reinstallation of the brake components. Failure to bleed the brakes could result in decreased
braking performance due to air being trapped in the hydraulic system. Use only DOT 5 brake fluid. See
Bleeding the Hydraulic Brake System on page 6-16.
CAUTION
• Worn or damaged brake discs cannot be machined to refinish them. Replace as necessary.
1. Remove the caliper. See Brake Pad and Caliper Removal on page 6-12. See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Wrap a plastic wire tie around the caliper body to a place on the frame so that it does not hang
suspended by the hydraulic brake hose.
2. Slide the disc off the wheel studs to remove.
Disc Installation
WARNING
• If at any point in this procedure the hydraulic system is opened, the brakes must be bled after the
correct reinstallation of the brake components. Failure to bleed the brakes could result in decreased
braking performance due to air being trapped in the hydraulic system. Use only DOT 5 brake fluid. See
Bleeding the Hydraulic Brake System on page 6-16.
1. Place disc onto wheel studs in hub flange making sure it is fully seated against hub.
2. Inspect the brake pads for wear and replace if necessary. See Brake Disc and Pad Inspection on page 6-5.
NOTE: If brake pads are replaced on one side, replace the opposite side also.
3. Install the pads and caliper. See Brake Pad and Caliper Installation on page 6-13.
