CAUTION
Do not lift or support the trailer on any part of the axle or
suspension system. Never go under any trailer unless it
is properly supported on jack stands which have been
rated for the load. Improperly supported vehicles can fall
unexpectedly and cause serious injury or death.
2. Remove the wheel from the hub, leaving the brake
exposed.
3. Disconnect the brake actuation system. Check that the
hydraulic system has zero pressure and that the hub and
rotor rotates freely.
4. Remove the two caliper mounting bolts. Do not allow the
caliper assembly to hang from the hose. Do not disconnect
the hose or allow air into the hydraulic system.
5. With the caliper assembly out of the way remove the brake
rotor. Save the brake mounting hardware for reinstalling the
brake calipers.
Installing the new brake rotor
1. First inspect the brake assembly for grooves, flaking,
cracks, heat checking, thickness variation, insufficient rotor
thickness, and look to see that the mounting hardware is
straight. Replace any component as needed (or desired)
per manufacturer recommendations.
2. Install the new brake rotor by fitting it onto the hub flush
with the hubface.
3. Remount the caliper assembly onto the caliper attaching
bracket. Place thread locking compound on threads of
mounting bolts. Torque mounting bolts to
40-50 Ft. Lbs.
Note: Use two lug nuts to secure rotor against the
hub face when reassembling the calipers. After the
calipers are assembled remove the lug nuts.
4. Reconnect the brake actuation system. Refer to your
Operation Maintenance Service Manual for proper
operation.
5. Remount the wheel. Refer to your
Operation Maintenance
Service Manual for proper wheel nut torque procedures.
