FRONT ROTOR

REMOVAL

CAUTION: MAKE SURE VEHICLE IS PROPERLY SUPPORTED AND SQUARELY POSITIONED ON THE HOIST. TO HELP AVOID PERSONAL INJURY WHEN A VEHICLE IS ON A HOIST, PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR THE VEHICLE ON THE OPPOSITE END FROM WHICH COMPONENTS ARE BEING REMOVED.

1. Raise vehicle on hoist.
2. Remove wheel and tire assembly.





3. Pry off locking plate and remove brake pressure hose from strut.

NOTICE: Do not let weight of caliper hang on brake hose as this could damage the brake hose. Use mechanics wire to tie caliper to strut.





4. Remove the caliper bracket-to-steering knuckle bolts.
5. Suspend caliper using mechanics wire.





6. Remove rotor retaining screw.
7. Remove rotor from vehicle.





THICKNESS CHART


INSTALLATION
1. Install brake rotor onto wheel hub.





2. Tighten rotor retaining screw.
Torque: Brake Rotor Retaining Screw: 4 Nm (35 inch lbs.)

NOTICE: Clean caliper support bracket fasteners thoroughly with brake and choke cleaner (P/N 21007432 or equivalent). Apply Loctite 272 Threadlocker (or equivalent) to caliper support bracket fasteners. If Loctite 272 Threadlocker (or equivalent) is not available, new caliper support bracket fasteners must be used.





3. Install caliper bracket-to-steering knuckle bolts.
Torque: Brake Caliper-to-Steering Knuckle Bolts: 95 Nm (70 ft. lbs.)





4. Attach brake pressure hose and install locking plate.

NOTICE: Before installing wheels, remove rust or corrosion from wheel mounting surfaces and brake rotors. Failure to do so can cause wheel bolts to loosen in service.

5. Install front wheel and tire assemblies.
6. Install wheel bolts and tighten in a star pattern.
6.1 Hand tighten all five wheel bolts.
6.2 Use a torque wrench to tighten wheel bolts using a star pattern.
Torque: Wheel Bolts (Initial Torque): 63 Nm (46 ft. lbs.)
6.3 Use a torque wrench to final tighten wheel bolts using a star pattern.
Torque: Wheel Bolts (Final Torque): 125 Nm (92 ft. lbs.)
7. Lower vehicle from hoist.
