Vehicle Damage Warnings

CAUTION: Use care when installing the caliper assembly on the steering knuckle, so seals on caliper guide pin bushings do not get damaged by the steering knuckle bosses.

CAUTION: When being installed, extreme caution should be taken not to crossthread the caliper guide pin bolts.

WARNING: Before moving vehicle after performing any service to the vehicle brake system, be sure to obtain a firm brake pedal.

CAUTION: Use care when installing the caliper assembly onto the adapter, so the caliper guide pin bushings do not get damaged by the mounting bosses.

CAUTION: Do not use excessive force when clamping caliper in vise. Excessive vise pressure will cause bore distortion and binding of piston.

NOTE: When using Caliper Honing Tool, Special Tool C-4095, or equivalent coat the stones and bore with brake fluid. After honing the bore, carefully clean the seal and boot grooves with a stiff non-metallic rotary brush.

NOTE: Use extreme care in cleaning the caliper after honing. Remove all dirt and grit by flushing the caliper with brake fluid; wipe dry with a clean, lint free cloth and then clean a second time.

CAUTION: When inspecting caliper piston, do not use anything but solvents to clean piston surface. If surface of piston cannot be cleaned using only solvents, piston must be replaced.

CAUTION: Force must be applied to the piston uniformly to avoid cocking and binding of the piston in the bore of the caliper.
