Brake Service Techniques

EVERY brake service should include:

1. Clean and lube all metal-to-metal contact points (i.e.; caliper to knuckle, pad to knuckle, etc.).

2. Clean and lube slide pins.

3. Set correct clearances - caliper to knuckle, etc.

4. Clean rotor and hub mounting surfaces. Use Kent Moore tool J 42450 to clean around wheel studs.
