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: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from it's mount and the hydraulic flexible brake hose is still connected. Failure to support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to bear the weight of the caliper, which may cause damage to the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak.

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

Installation Procedure





Important: Whenever a rotor has been separated from the wheel bearing flange, clean any rust or contaminants from the wheel bearing flange and the brake rotor mating surfaces. Failure to do this may result in increased lateral runout of the brake rotor, and brake pulsation.

1. Use the J41013 in order to clean any rust or corrosion from the wheel hub surface.
2. Install the brake rotor.
3. Install the caliper bracket.
4. Install the tire and the wheel.
5. Lower the vehicle.
