SEPARATE FRONT DISC BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY
1. Remove the 2 bolts and separate the front disc brake caliper assembly.
  
  Note
  
  Use wire or an equivalent tool to keep the brake caliper from hanging down by the flexible hose.
REMOVE FRONT DISC
1. Remove the front disc.
  
  Tech Tips
  
  Put matchmarks on the disc and the axle hub.
INSPECT FRONT AXLE HUB BEARING LOOSENESS
1. Using a dial indicator, check for looseness near the center of the front axle hub.
  
  Maximum looseness
  
  0 mm (0 in.)
  
  Note
  
  Ensure that the dial indicator is set perpendicular to the measurement surface.
  
  Tech Tips
  
  If the looseness exceeds the maximum, replace the front axle hub bearing.
INSPECT FRONT AXLE HUB RUNOUT
1. Using a dial indicator, check for runout on the surface of the axle hub outside the hub bolt.
  
  Maximum runout
  
  0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
  
  Note
  
  Ensure that the dial indicator is set perpendicular to the measurement surface.
  
  Tech Tips
  
  If the runout exceeds the maximum, replace the front axle hub.
INSTALL FRONT DISC
1. Align the matchmarks and install the front disc.
  
  Note
  
  When replacing the disc with a new one, select the installation position where the front disc has minimal runout.
INSTALL FRONT DISC BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY

  Torque:
  
  8.0 N*m { 82 kgf*cm, 71 in.*lbf }
  Note
  
  Prevent foreign matter from attaching to the sensor tip.
  
  Firmly insert the sensor body into the knuckle before tightening the bolt.
  
  After installing the sensor to the knuckle, make sure that there is no clearance between the sensor stay and knuckle. Also make sure that no foreign matter is stuck between the parts.
  
  To prevent interference between the sensor and magnetic rotor, do not rotate the sensor body during or after the insertion of the sensor body to the knuckle.
STAKE FRONT AXLE HUB NUT
1. Using a chisel and hammer, stake the front axle hub nut.
