INFORMATION
GENERAL

A contaminated brake or reduces Dower. Discard contaminated Dads and clean a contaminated
disc a high quality brake degreasing agent.
shock absorber contains nitrogen under
high
pressure. Do not allow fire o r heat near the shock absorber.
Before disposal o f the shock absorber, release the nitrogen b y pressing the valve core. Then remove the valve from
the shock absorber reservoir.
A jack or other support is required to support the vehicle.
When using the lock nut wrench for the axle lock nuts, use
a deflecting beam type torque wrench 20 inches long. The
lock nut wrench increases the torque wrench's leverage, so the torque wrench reading
will
be less than the torque
actually applied to the lock nut. The specification given is the actual torque applied to the lock nut, not the reading on
the torque wrench. Do not overtighten the lock nut. The specification later in the text gives both actual and indicated.
