5. Tighten the C-clamp until the calliper piston is compressed into the calliper bore enough to allow the calliper to slide past the brake rotor.
6. Remove the C-clamp.
7. Remove the brake calliper and the calliper mounting bracket as an assembly from the steering knuckle and support the assembly with heavy
mechanics wire or equivalent. Ensure that there is no tension on the hydraulic brake flexible hose. Refer to Front Brake Calliper Bracket
Replacement .
8. Remove the brake rotor (1) from the hub flange (2).
Installation Procedure
Note: Whenever the brake rotor has been separated from the hub/axle flange, any rust or contaminants should be cleaned from the hub/axle flange
and the brake rotor mating surfaces. Failure to do this may result in excessive assembled lateral runout (LRO) of the brake rotor, which could lead
to brake pulsation.
1. Using the CH-42450-A wheel hub resurfacing kit, thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface of the hub flange (1).
2. Using the CH-41013 rotor resurfacing kit, thoroughly clean any rust or corrosion from the mating surface and mounting surface of the brake
rotor (2).
3. Inspect the mating surfaces of the hub/axle flange and the rotor to ensure that there are no foreign particles or debris remaining.
