Removal Procedure

Notice: Any new rotor must have the protective coating removed from the friction surfaces before being placed in service. Use Goodwrench Brake Parts Cleaner P/N 123777981 or the equivalent, and wipe the surface clean with clean cloths. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or other oil base solvents which may leave an oily residue. This residue is damaging to the brake lining and is flammable.

1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
2. Remove the tire and the wheel.

Notice: Refer to Support the Brake Caliper While Flex Hose is Connected Notice in Service Precautions.

3. Remove and support the caliper and bracket as an assembly with heavy mechanics wire.





4. Remove the brake rotor.
