  Tech Tips
  
  Keep depressing the brake pedal to prevent the drive shaft from rotating.
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 front disc brake caliper assembly from hanging down by the flexible hose.
REMOVE FRONT DISC
1. Text in Illustration
  
  *1 Matchmark
  
  Put matchmarks on the front disc and front axle hub.
  
  Tech Tips
  
  The above step is not necessary when the front disc will be replaced.
2. Remove the front disc.
INSPECT FRONT AXLE HUB BEARING LOOSENESS
1. Using a dial indicator, check for looseness near the center of the front axle hub.
  
  Maximum looseness
  
  0.05 mm (0.00196 in.)
  
  Note
  
  Ensure that the dial indicator is set perpendicular to the measurement surface.
  
  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 (0.00196 in.)
  
  Note
  
  Ensure that the dial indicator is set perpendicular to the measurement surface.
  
  If the runout exceeds the maximum, replace the front axle hub sub-assembly.
INSTALL FRONT DISC
1. Text in Illustration
  
  *1 Matchmark
