During service procedures, grease or any other for-
eign material must be kept off brake shoe assem-
blies, and braking surfaces of brake drum and
external surfaces of hub/bearing assembly.
Handling of the braking disc and caliper is to be
done in such a way as to avoid deformation of the
disc and scratching or nicking of brake linings.
If inspection reveals that the square sectioned cal-
iper piston seal is worn or damaged, it MUST be
replaced immediately.
During removal and installation of a wheel and
tire assembly, use care not to strike the caliper.
