-
Raise and safely support the vehicle.
-
Remove the wheel and tire assembly.
-
Remove the caliper from the spindle and rotor, but do not
disconnect the brake hose. Suspend the caliper inside the fender
housing with a length of wire. Do not let the caliper hang by the brake
hose.
-
Remove the grease cap from the hub and remove the cotter pin, nut retainer and adjusting nut.
-
Grasp the hub/rotor assembly and pull it out far enough to loosen
the washer and outer wheel bearing. Push the hub/rotor assembly back
onto the spindle and remove the washer and outer wheel bearing.
-
Remove the hub/rotor assembly from the spindle.
-
Inspect the rotor for scoring and wear. Replace or machine as
necessary. If machining, observe the minimum thickness specification.
-
If the rotor is being replaced, remove the protective coating
from the new rotor with brake cleaner. Pack a new set of bearings with
high-temperature wheel bearing grease and install the inner roller
bearing in the inner cup. Pack grease lightly between the lips of a new
seal and install the seal, using a seal installer.
-
If the original rotor is being installed, make sure the grease in
the hub is clean and adequate, the inner bearing and grease seal are
lubricated and in good condition, and the rotor braking surfaces are
clean.
-
Install the hub/rotor assembly on the spindle. Keep the assembly
centered on the spindle to prevent damage to the grease seal or spindle
threads.
-
Install the outer wheel bearing, washer and adjusting nut.
Adjust the wheel bearings according to the procedure in
, then install the nut retainer, cotter pin and grease cap.
