REMOVAL – FRONT BRAKE ROTOR 1. Raise vehicle on jackstands or centered on a frame contact type hoist. See Hoisting in Lubrication and Maintenance. 2. Remove the front wheel and tire assembly. 3. Remove the two mounting bolts securing the disc brake caliper adapter with brake caliper to the steering knuckle. 4. Remove the disc brake caliper and adapter as an assembly from the steering knuckle. Hang the assembly out of the way using wire or a bungee cord. Use care not to overextend the brake hose when doing this. 5. Remove any retainer clips from the wheel mounting studs. 6. Remove brake rotor from hub by pulling it straight off wheel mounting studs. INSTALLATION – FRONT BRAKE ROTOR 1. Install the brake rotor back on the hub and bearing. 2. Install brake caliper and adapter back over brake rotor aligning adapter with mounting holes on steering knuckle. 3. Install the two adapter mounting bolts securing the adapter to the steering knuckle. Tighten the mounting bolts to 169 Nm (125 ft. lbs.) torque. 4. Install wheel and tire assembly on vehicle. Tighten the wheel mounting lug nuts in proper sequence until all nuts are torqued to half specification, then repeat the tightening sequence to the full specified torque of 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.) . 5. Lower vehicle to the ground.

The front hub and bearing assembly must be removed to replace the brake rotor, figure 1. I the vehicle is serviced incorrectly, the bearing maybe damaged. A common removal method that can result in bearing damage is using a slide hammer to separate the hub from the bearing. The effects of a slide hammer can be damaging to the bearing and bearing seal. To avoid damaging the bearing and seal the hub and rotor should be removed as an assembly from the back side of the knuckle. The Wagner recommended method to service these vehicles is as follows:

• Separate the outer tie rod from the steering knuckle using a suitable taper breaking tool,
figure 2. • Remove the CV axle nut, figure 2. • Separate the lower ball joint from the lower control arm. • Remove the caliper and caliper mounting bracket. Support the caliper so no stress is placed on the brake hose. • Separate the outer CV joint from the hub,
figure 3. • Remove the four bolts holding the hub assembly to the knuckle, figure 3. • Install four 10mm x 1.25 bolts that are approximately 60mm long in place of the bolts just removed. Thread these bolts in until they lightly bottom out. Use graded bolts if
available. • Use a blunt tip or smoothing hammer attachment in an air chisel to vibrate the bolt heads and work the assembly free. The rotor and

CAUTION: Refer to Brake Dust Caution in Cautions and Notices. 1. Inspect the fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir. 2. If the brake fluid level is midway between the maximum-full point and the minimum allowable level, then no brake fluid needs to be removed from the reservoir before proceeding. If the brake fluid level is higher than midway between the maximum-full point and the minimum allowable level, then remove brake fluid to the midway point before proceeding. 3. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information. 4. Remove the rear tire and the wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Tires and Wheels. 5. Install a hand tightened lug nut to retain the rotor to the hub. 6. Compress the caliper piston enough for clearance. Use a C-clamp (3). NOTE: NOTE: Use care to avoid damaging pin boot when rotating caliper. Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic’s wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from its 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.

Removal Procedure 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. Install a C-clamp over the body of the brake caliper, with the C-clamp ends against the rear of the caliper body and the outboard disc brake pad. Tighten the C-clamp until the caliper piston is compressed into the caliper bore enough to allow the caliper to slide past the brake rotor. Remove the C-clamp. 6. Notice: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic’s wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from its 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. Important: Do NOT disconnect the hydraulic brake flexible hose from the caliper. Remove the brake caliper and the caliper mounting bracket as an assembly from the steering knuckle and support the assembly with heavy mechanic’s wire, or equivalent. Ensure that there is no tension on the hydraulic brake flexible hose. 7. Matchmark the position of the brake rotor to the wheel studs.
