OPERATION
FRONT BRAKE ASSEMBLY
When applying the brake pedal, pedal pressure
forces the brake fluid through the brake line, from
the master cylinder to each caliper. This pressure
pushes the caliper piston out, causing the brake
pads to press against the brake rotor, which stops
the rotation of the rotor and wheel.
DESCRIPTION
The front brake assembly consists of a caliper,
rotor and brake pads. The rotor and caliper are
mounted to the steering knuckle. A half shaft (drive
shaft) engages splines on the spindle, and is
attached by a nut and washer.

1. Raise and support the vehicle on a suitable
hoist.
2. Remove the hubcap.
3. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
4. Disconnect the brake hose from the caliper.

7. Remove 15/16" drive shaft cotter pin and
retaining nut.
8. Remove the hub and rotor assembly.
9. Remove the four screws and the rotor
assembly.

screws. Apply Loctite
®
242 to the threads and

vehicle.

retaining nut and washer.
